In to the woods

[Jim Dockery]

I'm often the first to suggest a crop on this site, but didn't think of it here. I still like the original but do prefer the crop - like Jeffery says it gets to the heart of the image.

Brilliant image, Amy. Both crops work but I think I slightly prefer the second.

The crop works OK but I think I'm partial to the original. It gives me more sense of being there, if that makes any sense.
Great light either way.

This version nails it, Amy. Absolutely beautiful.

 

[Jeffrey]

Wow, I love the re=do! For me it's much more exciting and draws me in fully with no distractions. Very nice job on that.

Fantastic!

I am with Barry, I like the original, it has more depth and more room and more of the beautiful forest floor, maybe just crop some of the trees off the left side to the big one? maybe crop to the 1st big tree on the left, leaving it there then crop out the big tree on the right. I think it may still give some space....which I love....space hahahha.

A mixture of sun and dust produced these great sun rays through the trees up on Kebler Pass.

Thank you Darcy. While I appreciate the suggestion from Jeffery, I too favor the first image. We all have different ways we look at images, photos are as unique as each one of us.

I still like the first one. The added shadow at the bottom helps accentuate the sun rays a bit for my eyes.

Great shot Amy, .. for me I like the edit however as you said every body has there own vision for a shot. I find your edit much more focused on the main event with minimal distraction . I found the area you cropped out a bit of a distraction and not really adding anything.
Regards,
Dean
