Any views on cropping this image. A friend has ‘borrowed’ it for a church calendar and thinks it needs trimming a little. I think the composition is strong but any observations please.

Looks good just the way it is. chris h 12-08-2001, 08:46 AM Thanks both, taking anything away wrecks the composition in my view. It was a lucky snap as the light went 2 minutes later. thomasgeorge 12-08-2001, 09:15 AM I agree, great as it is...if it aint broke, dont fix it. Tom jeaniesa 12-08-2001, 10:16 AM Wow - what a great photo! I certainly can't see how cropping would improve it any (in my mind it would hurt it.) -Jeanie chris h 12-08-2001, 04:11 PM Alas tragic news, the calendar committee have decided on a stock Christmas clipart image and my snap has been rejected ! Considered throwing myself in the moat but couldn't bear to poison the crocs ! kathleen 12-08-2001, 04:26 PM their loss :rolleyes: what a beautiful spot and shot George 12-08-2001, 06:58 PM I agree, their loss, great image, would not crop it. George jeaniesa 12-08-2001, 10:43 PM Chris, If they rejected that photo for a "stock clipart image", then I think you should be glad the photo wasn't chosen. They obviously have no appreciation for high-quality photos and your photo deserves to be displayed/published in a place where people will appreciate it! -Jeanie DJ Dubovsky 12-08-2001, 10:55 PM Why can't I have lucky snaps like that? :depressed I love that image. I also agree with everyone else on the cropping. I'm no photographer but I can certainly recoginze beauty when I see it. I always look forward to your photos Chris, they are such a visual treat. DJ chris h 12-09-2001, 02:49 AM DJ, You didn't see the other 28 dud's ! DJ Dubovsky 12-09-2001, 08:43 AM Chris You haven't seen my entire photo collection of duds. :D DJ chris h 12-09-2001, 03:47 PM Its interesting I've boxes of snaps from years gone by, badly composed, exposed, soft etc but I still hang on to them as they act as memory 'joggers'. thomasgeorge 12-09-2001, 04:51 PM Stock clip art!??!! Egads, the originality of the groups train of thought leads one to suspect it suffered a collective crash of absolutely Olympian proportions. Did any survive or were they all consummed by the flames of their originality of choice?
