Geranium Crop Dilemma - PhotoCamel

wingspar · 05-03-2008

Was playing with my 50mm f/1.4. Something I never do. These are the same image shot at 1/4000 at f/1.4 handheld. I could crop this a dozen different ways, and still not like it. Which crop, if either, works best?

If there is interest, I could post the unedited version so see how others would crop it.

I would go for a square crop and to see how it looks. I have tried this on #2.

Thanks for the suggestion. I never square crop anything. I only use print ratio crops. For posting on the web, it’s almost always 5x7 or sometimes 8x10. Stitched panos are the only exception.

Not that mad on the shot but just about prefer #1

Thanks Brian. I’m not that crazy about the shot either, but there was some withering pedals on top of the flower I didn’t see till I got it on my monitor, so they had to be cropped out, which left me with a cropping dilemma.
