Keep it or ditch it?

[dbutler]

Can't make up my mind. When I try to crop it more, and yet keep what I like about the shot (the crowded piazza, the vibrancy, yet the aged look of the building) I wind up with a bunch of heads floating at the bottom of the pic. If I crop to get rid of all the people (and I like to crop in the typical sizes, i.e. 5x7, 8x10, etc.) I wind up with nothing but old buildings and build board.

What do you guys think?

I agree, I think any cropping would weaken it.

I think it's great the way it is. Cropping it would take away so much of the photo, I say leave it.
Hope I helped!

Also, how do you crop in 5x10...etc. ? Just curious what the dimensions would be.

Thank you both. In spite of the hot clouds, I think it's an OK shot, so I was wondering whether it was absolutely necessary to ditch.

Bubbles, when you select the crop tool, it should allow you the option to set the width and height you want. While what I used was 5x7 and 8x10, you can very well do a 5x10. It comes out sort of panoramic.

Very nice. Difficult to crop, even a little bit. It's a keeper.

A lot of things happening here. This is good, for it tells the full story. I like it the way it is.

I agree to them, I like the way it is... No need to crop it.
