Forest Walk (which One)

[whiteflyer]

I know about the rule of thirds rule, which is the better crop ?

Second one for me nice autumnal scene btw

 

[shooting star]

I prefer the first one (despite the rule of thirds). Maybe a tad off the bottom but otherwise lovely!

 

[dellipher]

Second one for me too

i agree there, 2nd for me 2

I'm with shooting star on this,, number one with crop off the bottom

 

[Tim Sainsbury]

I agree with shooting star too! Great colours btw.

#1 captures a better sense of the expansive nature of the forest. Suppose it depends on what look you were going for. For me the crop on #2 feels a bit awkward after seeing #1.

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

The first for me. Its still operates on the rule of thirds in many ways, just because the subject isn't on one, other things are, thirds means little when the eye looks through the view nicely as it does in first... its defo less happy looking at the second mind.

Thanks for the comments guys and gals. I will have a look at cropping a bit of the bottom in No1. and maybe play around with the crop position for No.2

 

[Mayer71]

I agree 2nd one for me too

 

[WeddingHack]

#1 for me. I feel like an observer in #2, but within the scene in #1

 

[InaGlo]

#1 for me. I feel like an observer in #2, but within the scene in #1

I agree,
I know we usually avoid centralising the subject but this is one of those instances where it works ... pulls me right in!

#1 beats #2
seems to emphasise the path more imho
rules is for guidance not obedience (ooh listen to 'er!)
