Excluded
by davidtrout
Taken at York on Saturday as the crowd gathered to watch or photograph the preserved steam loco Union of South Africa leave for London on the Tynesider charter train.
Views on whether the overhead electric cables should be kept in or cloned out welcome. Personally I think it adds to the pattern

I think I would be tempted to clone the cables out David, difficult choice really. I also think this shot might be a candidate for mono with some selective colour popping on the guy in the wheelchair.
I agree with this.
I find this a very poignant shot .....

I agree with Jim. I think the cables don't add anithing to the composition, don't related to the exclusion. Maybe I would crop the top of the picture, too. And the colour pop is a great idea to help focus on the figure in the wheelchair.

Re colour pop, maybe it would work although the only bit you'd notice would be the hat and stripes. I am not a fan of colour pop personally, but I would probably play with it as mono or with the curves.
Dunno if the helps, it sounds like I am being critical when I really like it.
That's not sky, its a mixture of fog, rain and steam from the locomotive.
