| Horns a plenty | June 8, 2010 @ 10:39am | I captured this image recently while working as a second photographer documenting a spring round up and branding for a large cattle company.
I had a few free moments and found this pole with all these old antlers and heads on an old homestead near where we were working.
These are similiar images, but with different exposures. I am discouraged at the fact that I let the antlers run out beyound the edge in the second image. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

You were likely to run into a cropping problem regardless. A vertical frame would have included all the antlers, but another approach is an aggressive crop which chops some more horn on top and some on the sides. I often find that tight cropping will eliminate the implication that an error was made.
Finally, I was unable to cope with the wires. Cloning them away removed a constant and unpleasant distraction.
