    Re: Any cropping suggestions ?

    james,

    Fun shot, the colors are very nice. I also like the concentric rings of water emanating from the landing spot. I think a tighter crop would work, perhaps. The two things that distract me here are the leaves hanging down, and that there is a slight tilt in the photo to my eye. If you rotated it a little clockwise that might help even it up.

    Good luck!

    Thank you Stew ,

    At first i thought that the leaves were adding a bit to the picture , and i never noticed the tilt ! Thanks for making me attend to that ! I did rotate it a bit and cropped out the leaves and as you mentioned . ( did not upload the photo again ) . And it look much better . Thanks again for your comments .

    Regards
    james
