Damian's tree - cropped
I had a go at cropping, and slightly upping the contast on Damian's tree image. The hole in the cloud needs cloning out (I think), but what are the views on this crop, and what other crops do folks think might work?
Well, I actually like the gap in the clouds. At first I thought it was distracting since it is so bright, but then it grew on me so now I like it and find it provides 'space' in the photo. I am not saying that the photo is cluttered (clearly there is lots of space here) but that it provides a different sense of space. Anyway, I would not want to remove that gap.
So, I don't much like the crop. I did try this crop and it lost too much.
I do agree that the levels need to be worked; and push the contrast a little more. I also played around with BW but that didn't work either.

So for me, the original is what I prefer.
