I really like the content of this photo but not really sure how to process it (if at all)... black and white? cropping??
Any ideas and advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.
I like the color contrasts of the son with the yellow wall and the contrast of his colorful outfit with the monochrome of the father. I don't think the "bookend" framing works here since the window on the right pull the eye behind and past the figures. I edited by brightening the figures a bit, using content aware scaling to expand the blank wall behind them and cropped down along the horizontal line of the grill work in the window to eliminate the ||| vertical leading lines...
Well, I've viewed the variations presented here and out of all possibilities, I like your original best. The only thing I might suggest you try is cropping a little off the top to make it even more panoramic.
There's lots to like. The color contrasts are great and there's a real story between the son deep in thought and his tethered father trailing behind.
Tough choices with great variations. The original itself is very strong. I love the relationship. I love the color. I think the image is a bit long, but that could fit with the story. I like the bookended feature. It adds to a sense of traveling a distance, perhaps passing many windows.
Print and hang!!!
