Hi. I can't decide which one of these looks the best. This is the original uncropped + two other cropped versions of that photo. I figure the closeup crop of the flag is the best one because there are less distractions and the main subject takes up most of the entire space. I read something more than once in regards to less distractions from the main subject being a good idea, but I also like to think that sometimes such rules are best not followed for a variety of reasons I don't yet understand to well...I guess sometimes I have croppy confidence when it comes to cropping and composition in general. In this case most the background is out of focus so perhaps it is not as critical to fill the entire frame w/the flags? If anyone has any suggestions, other ideas, or feedback, I would greatly appreciate your input. Also please feel free to play w/the image... Thanks :-) -Jeff
