Assignment 208: Location Photography: Post Production - Cropping

Photoshop - Post Production - Cropping

This image has too much distraction - the break in the harris fencing, and the label on the fencing.

The aim of the crop was to create total focus on the boy behind the fence, but retain enough of the fence to keep the sense of isolation and enprisionment.

I also wanted to see if this image worked in black and white - personally I feel the colour image has greater impact.  In black and white there is no punch to the image - it doesn't add any depth, whereas in colour the muted hues add to the sense of desolation.
