I tried several ways and didn't like the feel of them. It steals too many leading lines going to her and/or places her in a bad location. Like I said, I am going to try and clone out the green sticker, making the entire can black, so your eye won't be easily drawn to the bright spot.Originally Posted by Marko

I hear both sides of this discussion. I do like extra space in the original.
I know it is photo-manipulation, but if you didn't know what to do with those hot Louisiana nights, you could sit down in front of the computer and give something like this a try. This is as rough as guts ( definition here ) as I only spent 5-10 minutes on it this morning before heading off to work.

Run, that would take some major manipulation and I just don't have the skills to make it look natural.
I did do this crop but I still think the original is stronger with the roof showing

That is still a fine image and I like it.
I just liked the idea of there being more space around her, and her occupying less space in the frame, which (to me) emphasised her being alone (but not lonely).

Thats the feeling I get with the original, and is lost with the crops. I am sticking to the original. When you have 2 seconds to grab a shot like this, you gotta take the surroundings as they come. This is actually one of my favorite images I took on the trip. I did clone out the green sticker on the can, but it didn't look natural

You got some great shots from that trip (but you still haven't shared on this forum one of my favourites that I saw on Flickr i.e. newmexico12)
