My "Free Study" outtakes - DPChallenge Forums

Once again, my weakness for trying to include too much in a photo does me in. I KNEW I should have cropped that left branch out, but it was just SO crisply focused, and so interesting, that I left it in. When will I learn?

A recropped version of "Hanging On", as well as a bunch of other shots can be seen here.

A bit of a self-serving bump, but I didn't think anyone would mind since there's not much conversation right now.

The main thing I was hoping to find out is whether the recrop in my outtakes "fixes" the concerns folks had with my photo. I kinda think it looks better, but I'm too close to see objectively any more.

Any of the other photos you thought would make a better submission?

actually, looking at the different crops, i think i like your submission best :) alternatively, the long narrow one is my 2nd favorite. either way, i just love how the ice looks like its been put together from tiny little pieces ...

I also liked the submitted version best, but they are all really nice. It seems cruel of me, but I wish we had freezing rain here, but it doesn't happen here very often.

I like the long Portrait shot the best by far. CRW_5291L

That's an interesting point. A lot of folks thought the ice was cracked. That's actually how the ice is formed as freezing rain droplets fall and instantly harden on the twig. Pretty cool, huh?

I like them all, but I like the original one the best. Good eye by the way. Not too many people are paying attention to their surroundings in that kind of weather. Goo job.
