The Monday morning group met at the Brunswick library this month. We had an excellent conversation about our art projects. We discussed everything from color temperatures, depth of field and all the other usual considerations we have in a work of art. One person in our group, Dave, is very good at showing that cropping often helps and sometimes even creates two works of art. We always see different points of view and perhaps something that hadn't even come to mind when we had looked at our own work for so long.
