The composition should work, but there's a couple of niggles. The rock on the right is very prominent in the frame visually without occupying as much of the frame as it dominates. It also interrupts the source of the lines drawn by the fern fronds. The aspect ratio is very tall and thin, and all the weight (the rocks) sits rather high. There's no visual weight at the bottom of the frame to ground the scene. If the frame was wider (more square) this might be lessened.
Despite that, it does work. And I suspect it's an as-found scene where you have to work with natures little imperfections. |

I like Nurkov´s cropped version more. The orgininal has too many elements, IMHO. _________________ Markku

The clover leads the eye into the photo then up to the two boulders, onto the fern and out the top of the image... |

just slight crop on all 4 sides, a tad more on lower than upper part, possibly on right than left side
keeps the depth but makes the clover besides / below the 'cliff' more prominent, from there the lines spread towards the corners

I like the framing of the original best, all the crops look as if they're taken with too long focal length, like there's something
missing. However, given the opportunity I would have tidied up the scene a little before taking the shot to get rid of the two
dead white stalks in the foreground, the two dead leaves just above the clover, and the twigs at top right. All these drag your
eye from the lovely greenery and the stone. _________________ Peter - Moderator |
