Description

I braved Mountain Lions to get this picture so you better like it! LMAO This was also taken literally minutes before a big thunderstorm covered Far Nor Cal and we had close lightening strikes which my husband loved and which scared me to death. So I risked my life as well hehehehe ;-) This is the day Far Nor Cal started on fire last summer. It was a long smokey no good for breathing or fun in the sun summer :( Ok seriously... need an opinion... would you crop out that branch at the top left?

I'm on the fence about it because of the naturally messy look of the spring I think it works... but then I go back to not liking that added mess up there.... hmmmmmm

Ooooo, very pretty! Looks a lot like my backyard today. Hey, about the top left branch question...try using your cloning tool (Photoshop?) to make it disappear. This way you'll still have that nice landscape composition.

I probably would crop that branch out. It doesn't seem to serve much purpose or lend to the serenity of the view. But I have to say, the beauty and the inspiration in this shot is amazing.

I think I like the composition better without the branch, but it has nothing to do with the branch! It's just about the way the water looks, with that line of moss and shadow on the left. It's a beautiful image ... you're over-valuing the result! LOL!
