I'm thinking of cropping out the far right tree and the couple, to balance the shot. But I also think the couple sitting on the right adds a bit to the shot.
What do 'you' think?
Thanks

I think that's a good point to crop. That far right couple is so far right that I think it's more distraction or irrelevant than adding anything. You want the focus of the photo more of less at the center of the picture. Plus without that couple the picture is more symmetrical.

Thanks for the opinion. I will crop it and stop letting it bother me :confused:
