Clent bluebells 3
Angela's favourite of the ones I took . I couldn't decide wether to crop the top more to the branch that goes across almost forming an arch. What do you think?

I think it looks fine exactly as it is, but I am having a bit of a crisis of confidence at the moment so best listen to the others ;o)
Bill Phillips: I hope the crisis passes soon Mike...where will I be without your wise words?
It's a beautiful shot just as it is, but the crop you mention would frame the top of the image very nicely.
Bill Phillips: Thanks Red Pen, I have a feeling it would be ok either way
Actually, Bill, If I cropped it at all, I'd only crop out that first light at the top. But I agree with Mike that it also stands as it is. The shadowplay is just sublime.
Bill Phillips: The original crop was to get rid of an over bright sky and a touch more would perhaps have been better. Thanks Ginnie
I love the shadows and the little purple flowers ... I have the same ones in my garden ... Victoria loves offering me them ...
Bill Phillips: The bluebells don't last long but they are wonderful while they do
Enough about cropping
Bill Phillips: Well that's fine by me
Great depth and detail caused ny the angle of light here Bill. It seems to work well as a composition too, with the tress combining at the top.
Bill Phillips: Thanks Chad, that's good enough for me!
ITS excellent as it is Bill
Bill Phillips: I'll leave it alone then vintage.Thanks
Change not one iota of this, o great artist & twiddleiser. This is a wonderful composition
Bill Phillips: If it's good enough for you....well it's good enough for you
Fantastic just as it is Bill.
Bill Phillips: Thanks very much Aussie
I would say definitely no to cropping (you see that compared to Blackdog today I have no hesitation!). To crop it would make the composition look rather squashed - it needs that extra bit at the top to balance the expanse of grass and to give the archway some space. I like the way you have included a few bluebells bottom right to tie the foreground with the background. It is a lovely image.

Bill Phillips: No crop it is then! Actually reading your and Mary's comments has made my mind up!
I think it's fine as it shows where the long shadows come from.
Bill Phillips: That's a good point and the clincher! It stays as it is!
Simply beautiful ! Zen picture
Bill Phillips: Thank you very much for your comments. Nice of you to visit. I will come and see your pictures
Beautiful shot Bill. I really like it as is!
Bill Phillips: That seems to be the consensus, so I shall leave well alone
You've really got us going today Bill over the cropping discussion on what is a very pleasant photo. For me, I would take a bit off the top. I tend to cover what I want to keep and then see if I am losing anything important in the bit I intend to crop. It doesn't always work but is a useful guide.
Bill Phillips: I have cropped this and couldn't make up my mind about further cropping. I tried several variations but settled on this. I usually make up my mind on things like this but couldn't this time!! Thanks for your comments as always Brian
