Lovejoy Bridge (Revised crop based on viewer suggestions)

Here is the original. You'll see that I not only cropped but did a fair amount of tree cloning. Is the cloning too obvious? Do I need to crop more off of the bottom even though I restored space at the top? Thx. Also, here was my first attempt:

A good morning,

I prefer this one more than the the earlier.

When I keep a black paper on the bottom I should crop it just to the beginning of the sand on the right.

Let's put it this way.  Now that I know you've cloned in some trees on the top, I see it.  But if I hadn't known, I wouldn't have noticed anything.  I think you've done a good job of this, and I do like the composition better in general.  Personally, I like the new crop as you have it because it preserves the reflection of the bridge.  But I know you'll get different opinions about this.  :-)  (That's half of the fun!)

Thanks Christal. The ratings are about the same for both versions but I like this one a lot more thanks to your suggestions! GJ

Hello GungaJim, I like the cropped and cloned version. I too did not notice the tree cloning, well done. Looks like a great place to just relax. The image creates a very pleasant atmosphere.

BR,
