Can a Pile of Rubble Be Aesthetically Pleasing?

You be the judge, and while you're at it, can you tell which picture is digital and which is film?

#1



#2

Answer: "Yes it can!"

Some of this rubbish is actually pretty nice, too.

I like #1 better, as I find the very bright background at top right of #2 distracting. On the other hand, #1 keeps my full attention, and my eye seems to enjoy wandering all around the frame.

I can't tell which is the digital and which film!

Would venture a guess that #2 is a digital, but the contrast differs in each image so it is just a guess. I agree that #1 is more compelling.

No more guesses? :)

One of the images is from my Voigtlander Bessa R, CV 35mm f2.5, and Ilford XP2. The other image is from my GF1, Lumix 20mm f1.7, PP was LR + SFEXP2 w/Ilford XP2 emulation.

My point is to show that I made two almost identical images using two completely different methods, and each method is perfectly valid.

No interest?

Okay, Dan was right, #2 is the digital version.
