Hi Rita, I really love the colours in this one. There's something about the crop that makes it look a little chunky to me. Maybe the tree a little bit more on the left? #1546241

I like the colors on this also Rita and agree a crop is needed but disagree on the result.

I would suggest the same 4x6 vertical format with the lower right corner of the crop at or near the top of the bushes on the right, and expanded so that you eliminate about 1/3 to 1/2 the sky above the top of the stump. #10855619

Yeah, I agree that a crop is needed on this one, Rita. #10855844

I am glad I got to see the crop before I commented. It really improved the shot a lot. I liked the original but the edit is much stronger and everything else looks good to me. #10856513

thank you both I just happen to see this stump and thought it was very interesting, it looks like an arm holding up the upper branch. plus the sky was beautiful behind it. #10856905

Yeh Rita, I too think the crop is the stronger of the two. I was also seeing an 'arm' like you. #10857330

I kept thinking it would move like the trees on the wizard of oz #10857696

I really like the cropped version, it helped to strengthen the entire picture. I think the limb that looks like an elbow is what initially caught my eye! #10858126
