Cropped?.........

Photo Details
Russ Member Registered: October 2005 Location: Tacoma, WA area Posts: 143 users gallery	Which do you prefer, the cropped or uncropped versions? Why? An Arum from the Rhododendron Species Foundation & Botanical Garden. Apparently "blooms" this time of year with these berries and then dies back as its starting to do.

I prefer this one. It keeps the main thing the main thing. Nice colors and sharpness, too.

I also prefer this one. I like how none of the leaves are cut off in this crop.

Cropped. The image is about the colourful berries, right?

another vote for the cropped one. It keeps it about the berries. In the wider shot, I keep looking to the left and out of the frame.

Thanks for everyone's comments. I agree. However, there is something that feels somewhat discomforting. It seems to "open" to the left. I tried flipping the image horizontally and it seems better!!!!
