Imaginative Photography #51 - Little Mexico

Look at this fine art picture I got outside a Mexican restaurant in Houston, Texas.  It took me a little while to figure out what to do with the lights I saw at this restaurant.  I could see there were several different colors and it would make a cool picture.  I think I got this one while I was running and jumping.  I just love the way the line flow and turn.  I tried several different angels of the restaurant.  I did do one of the other pictures on a previous blog that was called the Golden Tower.  I hope you like these.

Don't be afraid to try and crop your picture in a different aspect ratio than the normal 4x6 or 8x10, sometimes a picture works better when it is cropped differently. This one is square. I always enjoy the creative process of trying to figure out what looks best for each picture and can I make it look better just with a different cropping. 

Here is one that I didn't like as much, it had to much blank space on the right.
