    Tree in the Field

    Should I clone the moon? I tried to re size it but it didn't look right...But this is as is.

    I would try cloning it out or cropping it out.

    Re: Tree in the Field

    I think I'd leave the moon, but crop off some on the right side so that the tree wasn't so centered. Perhaps try a 4x3 or square aspect ratio? Otherwise, I like it.

    Re: Tree in the Field

    I'm going to agree with the right side crop. The moon, I would leave.
    Something about this photo makes me keep looking at it.

    Is it early morning or evening? The light makes me believe morning.
    What is the crop in the field?
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Tree in the Field

    The edit looks better, perhaps some sort of halo effect around the moon may be what you are after.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Re: Tree in the Field

    I really like to edited version. I think the halo idea would look good or maybe adding a larger moon in, but that might also take away form it too.

    Re: Tree in the Field

    Love the crop, and think the halo might be just the thing. Try a large soft brush on a new layer and then a slightly smaller eraser brush with the same softness to remove the center.

    Re: Tree in the Field

    Love the mood of this pic, Greg. The crop looks better. I think the moon is fine as it is and def should not remove it, but if you play with adding a halo and get it right it could add.
    wouldn't go too far with it though. i like this one alot.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Re: Tree in the Field

    Very special photo. I don't see why the cropped version is better. The original looked stable and settled like the mood of the photo.
