Kind of gets lost in 50 pages of posts, but it is the film subforum as snaefell notes, as well as the intent of the OP (Post #24 quoted above).
In the end, people will post whatever they want, though... 😉

I reprocessed the mosaic of the El Calafate glacier in Argentina that I took in November with my black paint M4 and the 35/2 Summicron lens in three individual shots:

Vince, you know that I love your pictures to death ... but why put the statue smack in the middle and didn't opt for a more compelling composition further to the right where the face of the statue is facing the viewer and have the battlefield in the background?

Well, good question. I thought that too when I was there, but honestly it can be a difficult to compose precisely with these rudimentary viewfinders on these 100+ year-old stereo/panoramic cameras. I don't think I could have gone further to the right and have the statue facing me more, as then the roadway would have been more evident in the background (plus I would have had to go halfway around the statue to get it to be facing me - not possible). I think I even looked at swinging the camera more to the left from where I was situated to show more of the field and less of the trees, but the road would have been too evident. One of my goals when I'm up there is to not show any evidence of 'modernity', and I'm keenly aware of any elements like roads, stop signs, electrical etc wires that to me would seem out of place. Plus, moving to the right would have brought some bushes and trees into the foreground that would have obscured the scene, and the bridge that I was on goes over an active train track, so I placed myself where I believed it was most feasible. And I didn't want to just swing the camera more to the right, as I thought that the field was more interesting than the trees. So I tried to strike a balance between field and trees, and as a result the monument ended up smack-dab in the middle. Unfortunately what you may think I should have done was not possible, at least as I saw it when I was there. It's in Gettysburg, so not too far away -- you're welcome to go have a look for yourself and assess the situation.
Having said that, right now that particular camera is out for repair, but once I get it back I may revisit that scene and try it again to see if I can make a better composition (fortunately that scene isn't going anywhere). I'm always willing to give things another try and learn from previous attempts!
