I like this, my only nitpick is I'd crop the top just a little to remove the distracting OOF object on the far left

Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2005 7:03 amCropping the top to avoid the OOF bit in the left corner is sage advice - but it is a remedy after the event.
The annoying intrusion could also be removed at the time of capture with a slightly more elevated viewpoint and this would retain the full contingent of metallic hoops.
These things often slip past our attention because of the way that any modern SLR works. With full-aperture viewing and focussing many items like this simply can't be seen through the viewfinder. Add to that the reduced size of the viewfinder image on a 1.52- or 1.6-crop and it is nigh on impossible to see such stuff.
A quick jab on the stop-down button and a study of the image will reveal all - and also give a better appraisal of the relationship between near and far detail.
Cheers,

The deletion of any chairs would adversely impact on the sense of there being an assembled mutitude! And surely it is the message that is more important than the medium - and it's aspect ratio.

Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2005 7:14 amThanks for the advice folks. Quite correct too, it would look better with the distraction gone.
My biggest problem at te time were those pesky, ugly, ibis scroungers which kept jumping on the tables. The waiters would come around and spray them from a spray bottle then wipe down the table. It was a matter of getting in a shot between birds

Thanks Ss, I had cropped it a little already to get rid of some distractions but, like you said and more and starts to lose it's purpose.
Shouldn't have been so lazy and just hit the clone button
