One, to take something out, the other to put something in. So now, right here, I like this image. I like the way the tree was playing this against this brick wall back here and I like this shadow but I knew I didn't like this sign. And I didn't like the little piece of car. Well the car is fine, I could just crop it right there. But the sign, well that's in the way. Little fill with continental wear isn't going to quite get it because of the random structure of these bricks back here and then that shadow.
