> Agreed, the 'blob' is a flaw, but that's nature. I don't like your > crop :-) I don't have a crop: I'm not a bird! Seriously, that's fine, it's what makes art interesting ... But did you mean you didn't like my crop as a picture per se - or that you simply preferred yours? Bob PS: re cropping suggestions in general ... Would anyone suggest to a real artist (as opposed to a photographer ;o) that thier painting would be better if they cus some off the top with a pair of shears? Or is it that photographers are lazy artists to the core - often presenting uncropped images simply because "that was the apsect ratio the camera supplied "?
