Originally posted by brayburn: I like both of these pics, but I think I like this one better. I went back and forth a lot trying to figure out the rationale behind the "gut reaction" ... and to understand better my own composition biases. I think it's the vertical orientation that may detract a bit from the other. In any case, this one is awesome - great patterns, wonderful use of the line on the left to balance (as noted before) and great moment w/ the arm extended. I'm curious ... did you try any different crop on the other?

I didn't try a different crop on the other one. I shoot a lot in this place and I shoot horizontal most of the time. I went for the vertical framing because of the diagonal on the left - that I like. But hey, I'll try a horizontal crop on the other one and I'll post it here :) And I'll take Deb's suggestion as well and tilt this one :)
