To Crop or Not to Crop

mrgubby · 11-02-2006, 20:29

Took this photo today and quite like it (not sure why

) but can't make up my mind whether it works better with the bottom wire cropped out or not

Anybody got any ideas to help settle my cropping conundrum???

Its a toughie!

I tried a crop, but it made the horizon too close to the bottom of the pic. Therefore I think it looks better as is.

Maybe next time try a different angle so that you only get one section of fence in?

Nice shot though mate.

Thanks for the comments

, only took 13 shots of it from different angles/bag in different holes

, luckily nobody saw me

For me the bottom wire gives it a certain strength ... therefore better in imo ? Also adds to the perspective effect you have achieved ... it wouldn't be there without it !

Is this for a certain "perspective" compo?

I quite like the 1st of the 2nd batch you posted. Just a shame there isnt more colour in the sky

Wasn't for 'that' competition actually
