Learning

Very nice shot. It would be even better with a tight crop.

So I tried it and I have to agree.  Initially I liked the first shot because of the fuzzy llama in the background, but really the tighter crop is better.  I appreciate comments that help me learn!  So feel free to make constructive suggestions or comments.  I want to improve as a photographer.

I like them both Loran--but I think I like the 2nd one better.... We all are learning... I know I am 'trying' to be a good photographer... I certainly do look at things differently than I used to.

Hugs,
Betsy

Nice job. Sometimes I have a hard time cropping an image, but then it turns out very good.

The first version is very good, but the second is super. You are definitely learning.

The translucence of the leaf and the veins pop out more in the second. I find macros hard.

I agree - any comments that can make me grow as a photographer are welcome! I DO like the tighter crop.
