Street Photography
I’m posting this with the question: how do I remove the sign? or do I need to?
Dogs and People play in King Tide
The 4th Monday Challenge for https://lensandpensbysally.wordpress.com/2016/01/25/sallys-mobile-photography-challenge-challengers-choice-abstraction-at-longwood-gardens-on-another-note-exasperation-revealed/ is free choice of animals, people or street photography. See my interactive street photos at https://piecesofstarlight.wordpress.com/2016/01/24/full-moon-lunacy-for-cees-odd-ball-challenge-4/
I wonder if the top guy listened and when out to play in the tide? I created the sled show so you could watch the tide go in and out. Click on any photo to see full size pics.
Let me know what you think.

Light Words 
Your capture of The Muse does intrigue. The juxtaposition of the man to the sculpture leaves much room for interpretation. Since it’s the back of the sign, it tends to fade into the background. Happy Photo Challenge.

I did a little softening of the sign maybe that is all it needed. I was thrilled to see and capture that moment of contrast.
Thanks
Happy Monday hope you are safe and dry.

Hi Carol. If you want to remove the sign, you can use the clone stamp tool in PS.

I like your Street Photography image and agree with Sally—the sign fades away. You can try the Retouch app to get rid of it.

Lovely beach shots – and I agree with Sally on the sign- about how it is not forward and pulling by adding a message –
But before I read her comment I also liked the sign there because it divides the frame a bit – taking it out would work too – but the vertical tension adds to the rhythm of the moving flow of the sculpture and guy in motion! In fact – this is a very special art photo and needs to be in a frame- great capture and truly a gem!

I really appreciate your words! Also there are tiny try beaches that would be lost if the sign was removed. I see what you mean by vertical tension. I so admire the early French street photographers that teach us to look for these special moments.

I love your first photo. Yes get rid of the sign, but I don’t know how to do that either.

Love your first photo – the contrast is great. The sign just adds to that contrast – on the one side the muse, on the other side the man.

I love the contrast in the first photo, Carol, and didn’t really pay much attention to the sign at all. The muse seems so above everything, literally and figuratively, and so uplifted, while the man is paying no attention and seems if not downtrodden, at least weighed down. Whatever editing you did works very well.

I had to do a lot of editing because the mans face was entirely in the dark. I was so happy it cam out and did have that intense focus that means he is totally missing the beauty and grace of the muse. Which is just what he probably needs,Thanks you for the well thought out comment.
I’m happy I payed attention to the muse this time. 🙂
