Theodorus, the first looks unusual, is it a cardboard cutout or life size photo?

Another shot of the first subject:

It's a kind of a scarecrow. The bottles are a scarecrow too :D
It is from a "Scarecrow Day" in a greek village that was in a mountain with many "weird" scarecrows from some artists from all over the world.
Sorry for my english...

Very artistic impression in the last image you displayed Theodoros. I think cloning out the support sticks, which are a little distracting, from the 2 cutouts at the back may help the image. Not sure but perhaps even burning out darkening the top part of the image where light from distant paddock is coming through may help to enhance the image's mood and overall impact. :)
cheers

Thanks a lot Marco for your comments. You are right about darkening the first "scarecrow", but i did want to keep the scarecrows as they were. The first it's not white because of the sun and the two in the background are not black because of the trees. They are designed this way! Propably the artist put the blacks below the trees and the white in front to make it more realistic :)

I prefer the second photo

I prefer the second photo. May be because it is so unusual and makes you guess what the bottles are doing there in the first place. Are they the leftovers of a party? What do they contain? The third one I believe it would work better if you cropped it and made the head more prominent. Just a thought...

Thanks a lot zafra52 for your comments. The bottles, as i have said in a previous post are a kind of scarecrow. Modern art in a greek village :)
