I just joined today and I decided to start off with this photo. I took it about a month ago and it's one of my favorites. I originally thought that I should crop out some of the empty space at the top and bottom but was unsure. I would like to see what everyone has to say about it so please comment on it. :)

Even though you didnt experiment with the cropping, this picture works for me as is. It has a vintage feel to it, in my opinion. nice work!
