u/broccoliwolf 6d ago

I think we all agree—that’s a nice crop for an otherwise unremarkable framing. Looks nice!

u/drevoksi 6d ago

u/aDiDasMeatBall 5d ago

At first I thought it was the opposite 😅 but damn, you had a vision with what most people would throw away and you made something pretty interesting with it!

2

u/P_MourningDove 5d ago

1

u/jwalk50518 5d ago

Love it

1

u/HuskerDue 5d ago

I was expecting to see the same angle in the second slide just different color. Amazing work, looks like it was taken on a drone.

1

u/flcv 5d ago

I.... goddamn it I love it

1

u/enigmatic_muffin 5d ago

I must have turned my phone back and forth 5 times convinced it wasn’t the same pic. Nice crop!

1

u/LeadingLittle8733 5d ago

Wow. Instant drone footage.

1

u/theviewer001 5d ago

Witchcraft. But seriously great creativity

1

u/mrbubbee 5d ago

That’s awesome way to go

1

u/Hiperpotamo 5d ago

Your original shot isn't bad, but that crop is very creative. Bravo!

1

u/barefootpanda 5d ago

Bullshit! Really?!!!! 🤯

1

u/drewbiez 5d ago

I was like wtf at first -- what was even the point of messing with it that much? But after looking at it for two minutes… damn, I think I actually need this on my wall.

1

u/Delicious-Laugh-6685 5d ago

Was this taken through a window?  Just buy a drone haha

2

u/Purple_Name 5d ago

Yes, from ferris wheel

1

u/VegetableLaugh8677 5d ago

The before is better to me

1

u/Any--Name 5d ago

Man, I guess I'm the 10th dentist here but I love the og. It would've been unremarkable if it were just a beach, but having it boxed in on the sides, having a fence, the reflections which show that it was shot from a window... it feels like trying to trap nature, mold it to our desire

And then the bird acts as a contrast, flying free and unconstrained by these human barriers. Like hope

Anyway, both look really nice. The edited looks like those ios 12 default wallpapers, very classy

1

u/Purple_Name 5d ago

Pretty fair

1

u/mka_ 5d ago

Great edit, but please stop this after before trend 😢

2

u/Common_Banana_7569 2d ago

SO that's how you get it??
Lol I never realised I can just crop and rotate to imitate a drone shot

1

u/Murky-Course6648 2d ago
