[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 172272, member: 1573"] I'm just going to play off Jake's critique because I agree with ALMOST all of it. 1. I think it would benefit from a little more light on both sides . . . just a tad. I think the interplay between the light and the shadows is much of the beauty of this shot and you captured it well. 2. no . . . I see it as perfect. 3. also no. 4. I think brightening both sides would eliminate any need for cropping. I don't always follow the rule of thirds, but IMHO, cropping out the water on the bottom would destroy the pleasing flow of the composition. . . . as it is, even with the dark edges, the water draws my eye right into the middle of the photo . . . I find myself wanting to travel further down the canal/river. There's something about "bisecting" an image,( which would happen if you crop out the bottom), that screams "dead end" . . . Great photo, Eduard. So, in your opinion, is upgrading to LR 5 a good move? [/QUOTE]
