I like this edit Brenda. The tower position is believable to me , the crop looks good, and the removal of the poles helps to create a cleaner image. |

Good thinking Terry !
The replaced tower looks natural and makes for a stronger image.
Brenda, I also agree with Terry that the horizontal image is better than the vertical. The vertical is good and seeing that alone I'd find it to be a quality photo -- but seeing it in comparison to the wider view and it seems closed in or too closely cropped to me. |

Hi Ata thanks for dropping by and for your comment! That would have been a great perspective from the peak side. |

I don't know of one off the top of my head, but sounds like a great idea for a new article!
I think a widescreen (16:9) crop works well when the main elements / subject are more in the center across the whole frame like this. |

Great place / perspective for a photo, and an even better catch with the couple in the frame.
I think I prefer the colors a little closer to your original as I find the ones in your edit to be oversaturated. Seems with all these shapes, it might make a nice B&W as well which I'm sure you tried, though maybe you lose the people into the background.
I like the square as well though it cuts off that nice lead-in of trees in your version. |

I like the darkness of this image. It could be tranquil and peaceful -- or ominous like a mystery crime scene.
I don't mind the trees moving. I think it adds to the scene and mystique - like something could be lurking just beyond the branches.
Only criticism is to maybe consider cropping out some of the bottom (like 40-50px in this version). |

One other idea is to rotate it into a horizontal frame.
(for example rotating 90 degrees and flip horizontal) |

Excellent clean photo of this colorful bird. Lighting is perfect illuminating the orange around his eye.
One small suggestion for an even cleaner image would be to clone out a little of the branch going out of the frame to clear the frame edges. |

Man, you were getting some fantastic light that day. I love the colors in this image in the sky and buildings.
I'm ok with the motion in the boats and I think this is a creative take on this classic Venice scene.
I was also bugged by the overlapping tower but not much to do about it after the fact. I was thinking that this seems a very cinematic scene so maybe a 16:9 crop might be a nice composition for this photo. It remove some of the top and bottom and brings the eye through the frame to the buildings.

Before reading the description, this made me think of a concentration camp or old prison.
I was thinking the crop was a little tight but on second glance, that plus the additional trees all add to a feeling of being cramped in or trapped which certainly adds to the narrative of this image.
Maybe one other interesting shot if you were able to try it, would have been to photograph the guard tower in the background (in focus) all down the barbed wire out of focus. |

Wow , good catch and great use of that new zoom lens !
I really like the two different textures and colors here between the red rocks and the coarse haired goat.
I like the expression and position of him looking back at you. Per Brenda's comment... the full body might have been nice, though the way you cropped it is pretty decent I think for what you have to work with.
If I were to make one tiny nitpick, it looks like the focus point is not on his eyes (though can't tell if it is just behind or just in front). While nature can be quick and difficult to capture, the best images often are sharp right to the eyes of the creature. Perhaps something to practice as you continue to venture out with the new lens. |

Thanks Richard. I like your crop and was thinking of something similar. It does draw the eye right to the two objects without any distraction like the sky...
I had to take this one quickly. Actually my friend's son was using my camera and I said "quick quick, give me the camera"
just as I grabbed it to click before the car moved out of the frame :) |

Jason KravitzThanks Alan.
I was thinking the same thing about the juxtaposition of these two elements and how it would have made a good example for the article ! |
