Everglades B&W

Took the shot of this Bent Pine yesterday. I would like to put it farther
to the left but I hate leaving the tree to left half cropped.. I would appreciate your opinions.

thanks
Garry

I really like this one, Garry. Did a few of these myself last year when down there.

Awesome shot Gary!

Thanks for the very kind comments.
Here is a different crop that moves the bent pine farther left.

I think I like this one a little better.

Again, thanks for looking

I'm also one of those precise framers, heh. Now I know I'm not the only one like that.

I definitely like the first one more, because of the balance and the wider aspect ratio. Makes it look more vast, more dramatic. I'd also add some vignetting or burn some areas to create a clearer point of focus, cause the background behind the foreground trees seems very bright. There's also this patch of sky that's darker colored on the right of the picture, I'd try to fix that.

Great shot!
