I wonder about cropping a little tighter on top and bottom to concentrate more on the main subjects?

Otherwise, this looks good.

Gorgeous textures. I think I agree with Geoff: my eye kept wandering up and down. On the other hand, it's hard to know what to lop off because all of the textures are really interesting.

I did a quick tweak. I increased midtone contrast, but using the luminosity blend mode so as not to increase saturation even more. I added a tiny bit of local contrast. And I then cropped. Would changes of this sort create more focus?

Thanks to Geoff & Dan for their input. I concur with Dan"s observation about what to trim. With all the interesting shapes and textures, I too was uncertain what, if anything, to crop. Whilst editing I did play with this and came up with an alternative crop, a little less tighter than Dan has suggested. I will post when time permits....

I can see a stand alone image on the top half and one in the bottom half. I thought perhaps two crops that can be displayed one above the other. A possibility?

Thanks Daniel, an interesting suggestion.....
