Curious if anyone finds this shot interesting. Just out fooling around over the weekend. Three versions. I like the first. Third is the original. Thanks for any comments/crits!

Hershey, PA? I lived in Hummelstown for a few months, which is a town that is 1.09miles long if I remember correctly lol.

I like first one best. It's not super interesting, but not bad either. Maybe bump contrast up a few more notches to make a stronger silhouette?

Interesting in what way?

I'm sorry but nope...not for me..

no detail at all to make out the Hershey candy and if that is the subject..it makes me wonder why you would have the dead space in the middle or even have the tree in the photo at all.

I guess I don't "get" where your going with this shot.

I took the shot to see how much detail I could capture shooting very much in to a harsh sun. The third pic shows that to be "not much". I wasn't at all focused on composition. I played around with it a bit in LR and thought the silhouetted version looked kind of cool. Interesting is a stretch I suppose. :) Thanks for your feedback.

Yep, that's in Hershey. I'll tweak the contrast a bit and see what happens. Thanks for your post.

Brands and brand names usually don't work in artistic photos. So in that respect the first one is best IMO. Needs a different composition though if it's going to hold my interest.
