I understand that you'd have to see the ice images to respond thoughtfully. My goal is to have an exhibit of the images in a local venue. Your reply broadened my thinking some: it's not an either/or issue, and the different verisons of the "same" image could be used in different situations. Thanks. Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks.

"Showing publicly" includes many possible options. Did you have a specific use in mind? My choice of using either one will depend on the venue, publication or exhibit. But I would not use both in the same place. As for your ice images, I'd have to see the images, know the context, to decide if they would work in the same venue. Thanks for your question, Bill Hi Evelyn,

Thanks for your question, Bill

This suggests to me that you'll decide on showing one publicly. Is that correct? Or would you show both versions publicly? A related issue that has come up for me recently is taking and showing multiple "originals" from the same/similar subject matter. In the specific case I'm thinking of I took several different compositions involving leaves in ice, with some overlap across the images. Then I decided to take a pano image that included parts from the "regular" shots. I'm wondering whether I can show both the pano and one or more of the individual shots. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

But it's grown here in the states and around the Mediterranean. Your agave is very likely Agave attenuata. Best one I’ve seen was in the Azores….

I am still developing my thoughts about different versions of one image. But basically, I have no problem of creating more than one image from the same original. Stay tuned! Thanks for your comments.

I have some wildflower images that I've shown "straight" and I'm also working on a series of "antique" versions of wildflower photos that I've shown "straight". I've wondered about the "ethics" of showing the same image in two different verisons. I’d be very interested in reading your thoughts about exploring multiple options with one image.
