    Sign of Spring

    Question- Should I have cropped the clay pots to the far right? If so, how do I do that and still keep the proportions of the shot without cropping off the snowmen's heads or feet?

    Other critiques also welcomed.

    Yes, I think cropping from the right is a good idea.

    I wouldn't worry about keeping the same proportions unless you need to print this exact shape.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Ptax - You don't: if you crop you will either lose the head or feet, or you will change the dimensions of the image. This is a dilemma faced by many people - do you choose dimension or the image. The image should win.

    I would crop it from the right and not worry about the dimensions.
