4 interesting zones have formed View crop only the top will be somehow distracted;)

dis-sident, well, he left absolutely nothing behind
I'm looking for a red one and the stairs to LSU are on point

ultimar, I'm not suggesting cutting it like that, I just indicated it

dis-sident, Yeah, the top is distracting. Just maybe not so radically View crop ?

+1 for cutting off the top

Reflex, Vlad I, I can only go for this) View crop

Reflex, Vlad I, that's all I can do) View crop

ultimar,
Thanks for that! ))))

Reflex, thank you!

ultimar,
The top here cannot be cut off! Under no circumstances! It creates the perfect dissonance!

ultimar,
The top here cannot be cut off! Under any circumstances! It creates the right dissonance!

Anonymous, I resisted for a long time)) one against three) I almost gave in reluctantly
Thanks for the support!

Ladies, you're not clueless, ultimar and Anonymous

Vlad I, you don’t understand anything about sausage scraps))

Vlad I, you don't understand anything about sausage scraps))

ultimar, it turns out like this)

I like it exactly this way

I think the cropped top (the Reflex crop) makes the shot look sleek.
The top doesn't contain any bright or distracting details, especially since the focus is on the
fields and the man. And the manhole covers and trash bins on the left balance the frame perfectly. Great composition!

ultimar, was there anything on the left? (meaning, they didn't cut it?)

I vote for the framing option suggested by Reflex, because it eliminates the "grounding" details in the frame and creates a different feel...the geometry is at work. It's certainly not Escher-esque silent art, but the impression it conveys is similar.

And it seems to me that with the cropped top (the Reflex cropping option) the frame looks "sleek."

Mikhail 57 Mir, that's the same for me, and the color is boring too

Hello everyone, I straightened it out and trimmed it just a little on the right and top. In reality, there was a black trash can behind the island.

Here, to cut means to spoil.

ultimar, I got it. I just wanted to take a look at the curve on the left) - maybe there would be more top)

Alexander Zeonoff, thanks for your opinion! It seems like geometry "works" anyway, since it creates such an impression.

ultimar, and also, why about the left one? A tree would hold this stepped pyramid neatly like that. View crop
And if it's as is, then I like it exactly as is.

Alexander Zeonoff, thanks for your opinion! It seems like geometry "works" anyway, since it evokes such an impression)

ultimar, work works are different. There's a concept in the "psychology of perception" called gestalt. So, in the case of a full frame, your version is a gestalt deformed by a "grounding" background, and this is no longer the image of an Escher mosaic... this is a frame about something else. This is that slightly Bryullovian quality that distinguishes the work of an artisan from the work of an artist. My opinion, of course.

ultimar, look, at the top left, there's a light, expanding, somewhat rounded shape going left. We can't lose it; it supports the yellow, rounded shape in the middle, going right, well. Further diagonally, this light shape is supported by a light square in the stump. The result in the photo is two distinct diagonals. And if you crop the top, the light shape will be lost, and this diagonal will also be lost.

Marina Glebova, that’s what I say/think – there’s not even enough top.

Hi everyone, I can't get much more of the top - I took it from the window.
I'll satisfy your curiosity. Here's one without the girl, but with the curves:

without a girl

ultimar, and without a square in the pnu (

ultimar, thanks) I guessed right with the tree, ziggurat and island.

Marina Glebova, I immediately told Dissident about this, but I didn't bother explaining it—he's smart enough himself.

ultimar, I stop by periodically)

Yaroslava Abramenko (Hamamoto), always glad to see you) come in, stop by))
