Topic: Should I trip or dip?

[astrobeck]

I'm trying to decide if this arrangement of photos works for a triptych?
Or should I remove one and just make a diptych? 

I want to make a print for my sister's birthday and am hopelessly undecided on which order or how many of the photos to use.
When I first thought of doing this I thought it would be a snap.  Was I ever wrong!!!

All help is tremendously welcome!

I think go dip. If you take out the middle one, you have two shots that are different enough in perspective but similar in style that it'll work. They're all lovely shots in their own right too - I especially like the middle one.

Hope that helps

I agree with Janet, the middle one should go.
The contrast between the white building and the black vignetting is too stark for the eye when compared to the two other shots.
I would make it a diptych and give her the center one framed separately

I'm with the others here. Diptych with the left and right images.

me too, middle one will work as a stand alone print & is my favourite
The other 2 will work well together

is there anyway you could boost the contrast of the outer 2?  I quite like them as a trio but thing they need to looks similar in tone and contrast of your going to do that.

Yep, like everyone else already said. (I'm an individual.. baaa, baaa)

The problem for me with the middle one, is how demanding the white wall and gable is on the front building. It grabs your attention instead of allowing you to study the lighthouse itself.

Thanks all!

I'm leaning toward the dip.  I like them all, but they do seem to be fighting amongst themselves for attention.

Leon- I'll rescan and then adjust them to see if they can be better mated as a trio, otherwise, I'll take the majority's advice and make a diptych, and give my sis the middle one as an extra single print. (after I tone it down some)

I feel a lot better now about the whole project!

becky - I took the liberty of having a tinker - this is what I was hinting at.
