Little Falls

Zaynab, I don't think any cropping is necessary here. The composition looks great as is. Good framing with the trees on the left, and I like the diagonal created by the branch to the right of the falls.

The compression seems to be killing the quality here... Is there a sharper, higher quality one you can post?

The trunk on the left does make the composition appear a bit off balance to me, though I'm not sure that cropping it will help. It's hard to say without seeing the entire scene but I wonder if a tighter vertical composition will work better since the waterfall is a small one and might benefit from being featured more prominently.

I think I'd leave the top alone, but crop the half tree on the left. Glad you got to experience a waterfall!

Hi Zaynab,

Nice to see you post an image again. This is a lovely scene and does look like a difficult one to try and capture a strong composition. The waterfall is pretty small in the frame. If it were me, I would be thinking something along the same lines as Guy. I think I would crop from both the left and the right for a more vertical presentation, or at least more of a square. The right hand side is a little bright anyway, especially the trunk of the tree on the right. I would then crop in from the left splitting between the two large trees there.

In the end, it's a pretty busy scene and a little difficult to get a solid, simple composition from. Maybe you can visit again when there is more water flowing.

thanks for posting!

Pretty image Zaynab. I wouldn't crop anything on this; I think it works well just as is. If I did want to crop however, I would crop equally on the right and left to leave the WF centered.
