I agonised over the crop for this image and posted my cropped image in the previous post. This post has the un-cropped image for comparison. What do you think? Would you have cropped the image? If so how would you have cropped it? Looking forward to your comments.
I like the crop. The second shot/composition works better in my opinion. Possibly because the path looks longer in the narrower vertical view leading you further into the picture.
Thanks Adrian, looks like I may have been right cropping it
The crop looks best, it really does enhance the windiness of the road. Nice pic/color work!
Thanks for commenting, 2 to 0 for the cropped version so far.
Hi Frank the cropped one, the sky is a distraction. Andy
Thank you Andy
Nice to see the uncropped version. Knowing it was coming I had imagined you had cropped the original on either side – I hadn’t thought about the original being vertical. And now I see the vertical shot uncropped I have to say I really like it. It gives a greater feeling of space and air. Both work, but this one today I think has he edge.
When I was framing this up for the shot I thought I had what I wanted. Then when I put it onto the pewter I thought I would have liked the person a bit bigger in the picture, hence the crop. I think the un-cropped version somehow feels more complete. Looks like I may have to print them both and see how they look to me then. Thanks for you input Andy.
