Lean on Me*

Posted this in the portraits challenge as well ( http://www.pbase.com/image/24992393 ).
Sorry for reposting. I think it is my most successful, deliberately tilted photo - of which I
don't have that many. At least I've done some different post-processing this time. Better?

Canon PowerShot G1
1/60s f/2.5 at 21.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks again Billy! I agree (of course) that this is better. Glad you also explained why you liked this better - it confirms that my newly acquired monitor calibrator is paying off! --Olaf

I like this one best, the contrast here is soothing, whereas, in the other image its a little to washed out. Shadow and contrast "imho" add a nice amount of depth to an image.

Thanks Billy! You made me look closer at the reflection and what do I see? - Myself! Hadn't noticed that before... Which post-processing version looks best to you? --Olaf

Nice Job! Its real hard to be critical of this shot. The composition works, the rain drops and the reflection are minor distractions. This image is very worthy of framing.

The tilt here is about 20 degrees off the vertical axis (there was part of a window post in the upper left corner which I cloned out). --Olaf
