Can't see the forest for the trees. Looking for some C&C

I would maybe crop it more. Make the bench more prominent but still to the left side.

Hi Astro,
Thanks for the cropped image. I see where you're going, but I agree with fjrabon, the spindly stuff has to go. I also agree with KenC that it needs more image at the top. But your crop definitely helped bring it more into perspective.

Hey

I like the crop of the second image (at least I think that's the image it was from), although I probably wouldn't crop as much on top.

Hey KenC,
Thanks for the C&C.
I fully agree.

Here's what I thought. Black and white images were the best, IMHO. But I also thought that centering the "gap" with the bench to the left caused the image to be unbalanced, because there's nothing in the image to the right of the gap. I also thought the tighter crop worked better.

Hi fjrabon,

Thanks for the crop. I like it much better like this. You've almost brought the bench into the golden ratio. For this image, it really works.

Yeah...fjrabon's crop has a lot going for it.
