A question on crop..............

Hi,

I have taken an image and am not sure the best crop.  Any help or comments on this would be much appresiated . http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/bargiepat/Cropquestion_zps27fc0884.jpg

I will of course put this image on POE. 

Regards, Patrick.

Hi Patrick

I've looked at your pictures and personally I prefer the first one, the full image with no crop. I think the trees at either side and the branches in the foreground provide a nice frame for the water without any cropping.

Just my opinion, others may differ  

I think image will look the best with crop , but not as big like on Crop 1.

6038 x 3954 px   , maybe ?

Hi Patrick, 

My preference is for either the full size image (with the more-or-less continuous line of branches making a border across the bottom of the frame) or Crop 2 (where the branches are cropped out altogether). 

I think Crop 1 is least desirable with the branches partially cropped out, leaving a rather ugly jumble in the centre of the lower part of the frame. But that's just my opinion.

Hi All,

Many thanks for giving me your fellings on this image..........  I have uploaded what I think is the best crop which is based on crop 1 but showing more of the fallen tree. 

I have uploaded to photobucket the crop leaving the fallen tree out. With this I have pulled the sides of the image in. This crop allows more focus on the sunlite tree in the center but I think the fully framed image that I have put on POE is marginally better. Here is the link to the non tree crop............. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/bargiepat/fullcrop_zps7f9e30d3.jpg
