marianne - Apr, 05 2006 09:04am David, I like the tram rail. The straight line guides my eyes to the bikes. I have never lost my bike and have often parked it in a similar place. In a way you just remember where you put it. marianne - Apr, 05 2006 10:04am At the moment there is construction work at this place. They are building a south - north connection under ground. Will be finished by 2008, and is way may expensive than originally estimated rangutan - Apr, 05 2006 11:04am Great 4* David, but why crop the picture to a non-standard format like hiding a blup rather than some also off the bottom. Professionals would laugh! Let us try be semi-proffesional? davidx - Apr, 05 2006 01:04pm Rudi's question: there was some stuff to the left that spoiled the picture but I didn't want to sacrifice any of the railway. I don't like the shape myself though. Can I square the circle? farnaz - Apr, 05 2006 02:04pm this picture is interesting! rangutan - Apr, 06 2006 03:04am Yes David, just trim the same percentage from the bottom as you did from the side, around 30% marianne - Apr, 06 2006 03:04am David, If you trim the bottom, you will loose part of the track, which Imn my opinion is a good eye catcher, besides typical of Amsterdam rangutan - Apr, 06 2006 08:04am David/Marianne then trim 40% off the right to exclude the disturbing blue pole too & make a portrait format. EXACTLY square pictures are also OK, Poloroid, Hasselblatt & other classics use it. marianne - Apr, 06 2006 09:04am Rudi, That's a good solutuion, get rid of the blue pole. rangutan - Apr, 06 2006 09:04am I don't like the dove on the track, should we trim that too? :-) marianne - Apr, 06 2006 09:04am Rudi, I don't think so, the pigeon makes the rails more 'lively', more real, especially because there are (too) many of them near the Central Station davidx - Apr, 06 2006 01:04pm Even I could handle getting rid of the dove without cropping - but I quite like it. rangutan - Apr, 07 2006 05:04am :-) = meant with a smile, just joking or take it on the lighter side we dont want to end up with a 2"x 4" do we :-)
