Fall Church

This is my first color post. Should I crop tighter? Thanks for your

comments.

Excellent shot. Yes, definitely take away the uppper 1/6 and lower 1/6. Somehow I feel that these two parts of the picture are a little over exposed and do not blend well in terms of saturation with the rest of the picture. Also, an even tighter crop will make the church stands out even more.

Sureal and impressionistic. Good composition, color contrast and sharpness. Though slightly overexposed, I feel this adds to the surealistic feeling and enjoy the full gammut of colors. Good Crop.

I like the image very much. As to cropping, I don't know. I would be tempted - nothing definate mind you - to crop off the tree in the left foreground, and just maybe a little off the top. But, the image is very nice as it is. My suggestion is to play around with cropping in Photoshop. See what you like!

I agree with Malcom. The eye tends to be pulled to the lighter areas of an image, and if you crop out the washed-out orange at the top and bottom, the church becomes much more the main focus. I think there is still enough color in there even with the crop. Nice shot! I like this better than most "full-blown" fall color shots. The green offers nice contrast to the warmer colors.
