Tight view of a pour off. Added image

[Ben Egbert]

Here is a different take (new image) on this pour off at American fork River. I think it is more in line with Jims's crop suggestion although he probably wants that right rock removed.

This was in fact my first shot and take at a longer focal length (76mm) while the previous one was at 35mm.

Jim says the left feels heavy, but I think it looks cut off. So here is another crop.

Hey Ben!

How did you know? I sure like this tighter view, and yeah, going a little tighter would be good as it's feel unbalanced with this crop. It feels left heavy. But I like where you are going with this.

I like this framing of the scene including the rock. Keeping it in gives the water flow some a bit more symmetry with the almost S shaped view of the water in the scene.

Jim, I think the left side looks cut off so I found a wider view and cropped to show the full pour off taking some off the right side and darkening the surrounding areas.

What do you think of the new crop? Do I need to add back more on the right.

I think adding in more on the left makes this feel like a completely different scene and I wouldn't be inclined to add more in on the right.

I like the second image you posted. Feels
More balanced and really draws the eyes into the scene.

Thanks Alan, I agree.

Thanks, Jameel. You know this spot so maybe you understand it better.

I like the second image better, Ben. It has a much more balanced look. The first one looks like it has two major components, part of a waterfall and a large rock. As a result, your eye lands on one or the other and doesn't move around in the image.
