Yep that looks just like it, has to be it. I will try lightening the last and see if other crops work. Thanks again for the feedback. What other forum might these be poste in? Nothing seemed to fit for the first two.
I like the crop on the moss Kevin but there is something that I like about the moss continuing up into the background as well. I guess it is the depth that it gives the shot. I might play with it more and see if I can retain a bit more of that and get it tighter in as that is what I like about the crop you suggest.
Scott, the mood does change, that is why I left it flatter and darker. Trying for that dreary damp feel, did I get that? Again I do like the values pushed a little more so again I will play when I get a chance to see if I can retain the feel I was going for and still bump it up a bit more. I already pushed the colours in the foreground from where they were in the original, maybe a little hotter and some more contrast there might bring them forward in the shot more.
I quite like the first. Appealing color contrast, texture and compo.
That is the one that I like the best of the three as well but it is also the one that I get the least comments on. It is the stark contrast in colour and values as well as a topic that you are just not that sure what it is at first glance that I like.
