[QUOTE="STM, post: 120599, member: 12827"] Personally I think the alternate crop below makes for a [I]much stronger [/I]image and this is why: 1) the Atlanta skyline is not just some small "bumps" on the horizon 2) it eliminates a [I]ton[/I] of featureless negative space on the bottom of the image 3) it places the sun on a vertical third. It is an all too common mistake, in my opinion, to place the subject in the dead center of the frame. It makes the image look static and honestly, more like a[I] snapshot [/I]by Aunt Gertrude with a disposable Kodak she got at the drug store than a [I]photograph[/I]. Not all images have to abide by the rule of thirds, nothing is set in stone, but in this case, I think it is very applicable and compositionally the right thing to do.
