Need some cropping advice

[DRodgers]

I shot this without much thought and am quite happy with the image but should i crop out the stalk on the right side or leave it as is

I'd crop it. It's pretty distracting.

yeah anything foreground that is out of focus and not consistent with the main colors of the comp should go.

Think a crop could be tuff... Top left corner Dark/ vs Bottom right corner , with a curving dark branch or something?? ( not a flower ? ) May want to punt on this one and give it another try??

Why not try a few crops and post them up, personally i think a crop on the middle 1/3rd of the pic could be good.

I just may have to go back and re try this I not sure I like the crop

why not crop it to a portrait orientation like this?

I looked at that when it was suggested to crop the middle one third but i like the weeds that are on the left of the shot and also some noise issues are starting at that size ,i want to make a 8x10 print..
