    I like the first one, but #2 the guy is lost in the grey and it's really dark, but heck of a job on #1, I like the crop on it too

    Thanks JS, thought one was definitely better. If he had a red jacket in two it might have worked but he does blend in. Damn overcast sky.

    At first I didn't like either of the crops. But looking at second glance the first crop is really interesting. The mountain become more than just a back ground. the little snow flurry on the left becomes it own idenity. I would probably leave a bit more on the top and bottom though.

    I liked the first crop but I think you might have been right. Cropped it this time so you have the full tree on the left and a little more of the hill falling away. Tried to lighten it up a bit too. Good call.

    Hey this is my first post on the forum, sorry if i cant be of any help. I had a play with the second shot. The cropping decision is difficult but i tried to get rid of the grey sky. Cheers, George
