Let there be light

[tegan]

Two unique sources of light and NO, I did not do any photoshopping. This was purely AS SHOT. The juxtaposition of the two creates a different look.

This is quite a nice shot tegan. I do enjoy the juxtaposition!

Peronally i think you can make this shot even stronger mainly through cropping. For me the most important elements in the scene are rightly caused by the juxtaposition...so to my eye there is lots of wasted space.
My crop would be something like -20% off the top and right side. -15% off the left side. Minus 5-10% off the bottom. The most important crop would be the top as it causes the lamp to go right up into the sky - which is very cool and dynamic imo.

The only other thing i would do (before cropping) is a wee bit of straightening using the free transform tool. The shot slopes to the left a bit.

I'd love to try if you'll allow me - or just try it...it would take about 1-2 minutes.

Hope that helps!

Works MUCH better for me it's almost exactly what I had in mind.
I love the lightpost in the clouds.

Works for me too. Great suggestion.
Thanks!
