I like this, but I'd lose some of the left side on a crop....Matt

Jeremy, It's a good shot. I don't agree with Matt. I think you need the field behind to place the picture.

Agreed - its a good capture.

I also like the field on the left as it adds some depth to the image and places the person in some context. I do think it needs a tighter crop though. I hope you don't mind - but here is how I would crop it. Of course this is a personal artistic decision so take my crop as my opinion only.

Josh's crop balances the spaces better for me.

Of course I don't mind - I post photos here to get reactions such as that.

And I agree: your crop improves the image. Thanks!

I wish you'd waited another two seconds so that the figure wasn't aligned so closely with the building vertical.
