OK, the light was a bit different this morning. And I decided on f8 instead of f4 to get more DOF, so the Sony went up to ISO 12,800 (which I'm fine with). So obviously the character of the shot is totally different with some nice grit instead of the smoother tones of the one yesterday. And with the shot yesterday, I think a crop closer to square would have been good, but I didn't want to abrubtly crop out the shadow in this one. So I gave up the symmetry I had yesterday which may disappoint some, but I like it....and that's what matters I think. I also tried to keep the handle at a more perfect right angle (though I'm still not sure it's dead level). I also took the requests of more contrast into account.
So tell me what you think of this one on it's own merits. Are there aspects that worked better in the other one? Are they more like apples and oranges than one would imagine since they are the same subject? If it weren't first thing in the morning and I decided to use a tripod, would you prefer it being shot at base ISO for a cleaner look? I look forward to hearing your opinions.
