Jeremy, I was thinking along the same line for a while. I cropped part of the bottom, and then over several days I kept changing my mind about which version I liked best. My wife broke the tie between me and myself, siding with the uncropped version, so that's what I went with.

Post by: guido on July 11, 2018, 06:02:19 pm: Another variation that might worth considering, would be to bring more detail out of the dark trees. It could help bridge the gap between the crop/no-crop camps... my 2c

Excellent as it is. I like the gradient, from light oranges to black.
