I didn't take the photo, so I am editing off of a JPEG. The first image is the "original". Do you think it looks better as-is, or cropped? Any other suggestions for how to best edit this would be appreciated!

Nov 21, 2012 19:57 | #2 Very similar crops, I can't say that I prefer one over the other. Only things I can immediately think of is to try to tone down some of the highlights on the bush, and maybe brighten the eye of the dog with a clarity boost in Lightroom.

I would crop the photo to make him/her the center of attention by removing unnecessary foliage around the dog. Here is what I am thinking . . .

bob_r Goldmember More info | Nov 22, 2012 09:02 | #6 I find the building distracting and would clone it out and then crop. This is my version. It would probably be better with the right bottom corner and the area above his back (looks like a shadow) cloned to match the bushes too.
