Default Love the Rocky Mountains!

Photographers Comments
I would love any feedback on whether or not I need to crop this photo ..... I have saturated the colour just a little, and deepened the contrast a shade ... nothing else.

Please critique folks!!

Hi Lenita,

There are a couple of crops I would try, one vertical of the central part with the stream leading the eye to the mountain beyond. Also a panorama crop might work well too. The original works well too, I would perhaps crop in a bit tighter overall. Only other thing for me would be a slight tweak of curves and levels to make it pop.

Nice shot of an impressive view!

Peter

Peter,

Thankyou for your suggestions. I have tried both and prefer the panoramic type crop. I am going to attempt to attach the result of my efforts to see what you/others think - I hope this works!

Thanks again!

Hi Lenita, Great shot. I defiantly like the panoramic shot the best. Your eyes seem to be led into the picture and then there is enough interest to keep them there. Art

Thankyou for your encouraging words, Art. I did feel the panoramic crop worked best, so really appreciate your feedback.
