Not talking about cropping.  Talking about PS.

I don't think cropping removes something from nature.  Even a photograph of a natural scene is not really nature any more if it's meant as fine art.  But we don't need to trade opinions on this any more -- it's just a continuation of Plato's shadows.

For the record, though, I also missed seeing the bird at first.  It was just another blur along the stem.

I didn't see the bird 'til you talked about the image, Randy.  Getting rid of the twist of flowers in the upper L corner would solve that problem.
