Alteration


One thing I have noticed when on holiday with friends is the difference between those who are amateur 'photographers' and those who like to take holiday snapshots is what people actually see when looking at the same scenes and what they choose to photograph. I saw this scene from a canal boat and decided to capture the wheel dangling perilously over the water it for perhaps no good reason that it looked interesting. A friend who is more skilled a photographer than I also saw the same bikes but we were the only ones to notice it...perhaps being on the lookout for images and interesting shots results in almost constant sweeping any area for 'pictures'...



P599: f4 @ 1/60  ISO 200  16mm AWB

Taking out the cycle wheel dangling over the canal was a challenge made easier or not by having the background of bricks as a guide.


P600: Altered version
I think that this alteration works well in that someone looking at the second altered image would not be aware of the missing wheel.
