    Falling Water

    This is a picture I took four years ago. I will be revisiting in about two weeks to shoot again.

    This is still on my "to do" list. We've got to get there sometime.

    If you are planning to revisit, I wonder if a tighter crop might not be in order. The trees, rather than the house dominate the shot and really don't contribute anything to the composition. I wonder if a vertical (portrait) orientation might not work better?

    I agree, looks better. I'm really anxious to shoot again with a different camera. This picture was taken with a Nikon P&S.

    This version works better for me too. The house, rather than the trees are now the main point of the shot.

    I still don't like that straight black twig...It is not so much of a distraction but it still was the first thing I saw when I opened the image...

    I agree. I have this printed on metallic and it came out very nice. I'll be in the area and reshoot in a couple weeks with a different camera, tripod, raw and hopefully more time.

    Depends what you want from this scene. As Manfred mentioned, the crop clearly focuses in on the building but I suspect there is also another option here.

    A slight crop from the right and bottom would show the building blending in amongst the trees.

    In landscape or portrait?

    Whichever takes your fancy, Doug.

    I suspect I would start with something like 5 x 4 ratio then possibly try square?

    Quite a few options here by the look of it. No simple right or wrong firm rules to follow.
