Crop advice .......
 

Shot from tonight and the Heliopan 10 stopper. I'm really loosing my mojo with what the crop should be on photos. I guess we all go through phases like this.

Anyway, comments/advice on the crop etc. please. Cheers

To be perfectly honest, I think I'd leave it as it is. I personally think the balance is right. Foreground interest is there and it's nicely exposed. I dont think I'd change it.

I've been looking long and hard and I don't think a different crop would make that much difference . If [B]you[/B] wanted a letter box style crop then I think you would have to re-shoot but to me the square crop that you have looks great and that's coming from someone who prefers the letter box look .

Hi Paul

Only my opinion, but I prefer a letter box look and would have cropped it as below. Also, I've taken out the fence and red thing on the right which drew my eye away from the scene.:)

For me, another good photo.:D

Jimmy. Why do you think there is an issue with this?

The only thing I would say is to use that 10 stop sparingly otherwise your photos will just have that same theme running through them.

However, I think in this case the 10 stop adds to the serenity.

I like the shot, but I'm not sure about how you could improve on the crop. I also like Rog's crop but feel it's missing something on the bottom left hand side. Both versions are still very nice though. IMO.
