p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lake Superior Sunset


Hi I've been trying to find what is the best way to crop this image. I have a few options below, opinions on which you like best would be appreciated. I also have flexibility to change it between the extremes shown below. Also I would be interested in comments about tone and color and what not if you have any. Thanks very much for looking

I like the vertical, the only nit I have is the dark clouds on the right side of the sky. I cloned them out to see how it would look without them. YMMV

I normally prefer landscape orientation to verticals but I prefer vertical to square. This subject which is mostly the rocky shore is a vertical subject so I choose that.

I like the vertical one. The other two are a little too loose for my taste.

I like the second crop
Can't help myself: although a matter of taste, the tones in the rock and water are just too far from reality for me. The sky is beautiful.

I think the crop is gonna depend on what you want to showcase @ sky vs. rock, etc.

A few tweaks to try and pick up the sky color reflecting in the water.

Hi friends, thanks for all of your opinions. I guess I will go with vertical, that seems to be the majority opinion and I think I like it as well. I may work on the colors a bit more. Regarding the purple rocks, they are in reality somewhat purplish, for a rock, they came out somewhat rather purple initially in the photo, but I might go back to turn them a little more brown.

There is a place in North East Idaho with purple sand (agate I belive) that comes from weathered rock.

Cool, would like to see that. Near Lake Superior where this was taken the roads have a maroon hue because of the material in the ground there.
