Cropping Busselton

[Mad Aussie]

After looking at my Western Australian holiday photos recently I decided to have a play with this one and see if cropping it in a more panaramic way would appeal. Thoughts?

You can the original I posted HERE (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/3615666545_b4931f3ba1_o.jpg) if you wish

Its a tough call, but I think I like the crop more. Less distraction from the foreground and the dimensions suit the subject. I also like the increased saturation.

Wow - the panaramic way works well here for me! Also the colours. Only the 4 houses I would desaturate a little bit more. In this way they are eyecatching and hindering to wander deeper into the picture. Somehow distracting.

The crop pulls me right in...nice work!

I favor the crop over the full pic. Even though the composition of the full one is very nice, the cropped version is more focused.

The clouds are amazing by-the-way!

Sweet!

I like both croppings and they both have their merits.

The lighting (pp work) in this pano shot though is far more striking and dramatic than the original and I prefer this treatment to the original.

Hope that helps - Marko

I have to vote for the pano two. Great processing and comp:)
