Is it an illusion or does the first one seem to have a bit more contrast? I think it's the feeling of more contrast that draws me to the first one, however the cropping at top seems a bit severe; yet it could add to one's interpretation that the weight of the world is on his shoulders.

Thanks John for your feedback. Yes, the 1st one has more contrast and i have cropped it also.

Tejal,

Was this the same bridge you shot from before?

Works OK but I wonder about keeping the original size ratio; possibly crop slightly tighter than the original size but same ratio.

Somehow or other, your crop loses a bit of the scene 'depth' and the increased contrast make that more noticeable.

Nicely done.

The original frame has more depth Tejal

Tejal, I have come back to this image several times. I think what bothers me is that the subject is so close to the edge of the frame and is looking out of the frame. This seems to lead my eye away from the image...

I think that I would really like the original image better if the subject had been looking into the image - more toward image right!

IMO the original comp gives a better sense of scale and location. Second is more about the person. So which is the subject?

[Urbanflyer]

The first image posted is, to me, the more interesting. He seems very isolated, not connecting with anything we can see, up above everything, and even treading on shadows. I like this though I would like just a tiny more space above his head. Other comments seem valid depending on your purpose. We each have our own aesthetic.

Just my opinion, so take it or leave it.

@#1: The image has lots of structure (triangles, lines, contrast), rhythm (pattern), movement (diagonals) and tonal contrast. It is also a simple composition which is a good thing. It also seems to work in all four quadrants with something in each. If you cut the image in half either horizontally or vertically, it is still an image of some sort of design. B&W works well. The focal point, even though the supportive space is busy and strong, is obvious. So well done on all those things.

I am agitated and uncomfortable looking at it. The dude looks lost, confused, disorientated, alone. The cutting off of the space he is looking into does that for me. He is also squeezed up into the top corner and really draws attention and creates a strong feeling of unease for me. My eyes first go to the centre left, then straight up the top right and back the start and back up again so the eye path is very linear from bottom left to top right. almost an anxious pattern. So there is an element of imbalance here for me.

I like the crop in #2 better to reinforce all of these ideas for me. Focal point is smaller and more isolated. I like the contrast in #1 though.

So, if that is what you were intending me to feel, well done I think you might be aware of much of this though.

Thanks for sharing and take care.
Kind regards,
Pete

Thanks Richard for your valuable feedback. Your point now i am finding quite valid. I need to check my other images. I think i may have something better. ☺
