Desert Queen Mine in Joshua National Park.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bottom image is almost the same, with some obvious differences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the original image (top) note the dead space in the upper left corner.\u00a0 I was not happy about the overall composition when I noticed\u00a0 the emptiness through the viewfinder.\u00a0 I\u00a0 took a few images anyway, why not?\u00a0 As I was pondering how to fix the composition, I noticed some extra pieces laying off to the side.\u00a0 I picked up a folding piece of metal and added it to the upper left corner (bottom image).\u00a0 This extra piece added some additional circles which appear elsewhere, and also some strong straight lines, also appearing elsewhere in the image.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The second obvious change between the original image and the modified image is the use of a sepia tone.\u00a0 Since the pump wheels appear very old, it made sense to make a monotone image.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I guess the moral of the story is, don&#8217;t accept dead space in your images if you don&#8217;t have to!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Desert
