Don't crop. Leave the full frame image! #699480

If you do crop the photo, I suggest cropping it tighter than your grey outline. I like the uncropped version, but a real tight crop would make a good image also. #4562862

Outstanding capture. I would leave it as is without the crop. I like the play of the snow coming off of the skis and the pole that they have out for balance. I think this makes for a great image. #4570715
