Cheers Dean, I have the same issue haha - I tried the square crop - again for the extra "Real Estate" on Instagram, but I think I like the original better.
Cheers Jeff, I guess its another shot where the crop changes the mood.. I am always reluctant to crop purely for real estate on a social media network that is in defect bull$**t... For me I think I will stick with the full crop...
Personally, I just don't especially like square images, but the original isn't ideal IMO, either. I would go for a 4x5 crop that centers on the sun; basically what you have in the square, but with less sky.
I quite like it if the top part off the square version is level with the fifth post down on the 'most discussed' panel - just above the name - at the moment it is Katie Purple... I don't know what that ratio would be...
Personally, I prefer the second one, although I might crop it just a bit to take out the tree on the left side. I like that it gives more "play" for the shadows from the sunset. Regardless, they are both nice sunsets.
Thank you all for the feedback, I think I will stick with the original and maybe try another crop which I will keep in case. I wanted to include the sky or a lot of but I'm aware it maybe a bit much for some, maybe the same with the shadows but I liked that look.
