What a tree ! & what a nest. Love it.

I agree with Marvin.... That tree really stands out & has "character" =) I'd actually crop closer to it on the right side to make the composition even better... Hope you don't mind my saying so!

I tried to get the white spot from the birds to build a square with the corner, but it looked just not right, almost cutting off parts of the tree . So I took the end of the tree trunk in the lower corner to proportions and ignored the birds position. Unfortunately, the upper edge is original to the shot, not more space left...
Should I perhaps loose all of the unsharp winter lettuce concealing the bottom of the forest edge?

Sonja... Added a crop suggestion via "fotonote".... Try that on for size ;)

Ah, yes, not timidly cling to including ground on the bottom, especially if there is nothing beautiful and tack sharp... , and composition priority on the accent sticking out most....will mind that next time.

Replacing now with a crop might make the discussion below look slightly odd, would it not?

Sonja... If you're inclined to replace it, you could just delete the comments having to do with the cropping ;)

And you won't cry "censoring"? ;o) That's nice to know....
But I guess it is a fun experiment to reload it, if only to see what happens to notes by others I seem not able to delete....

LOL -- there it still stands, your note, looking like a very poor cropping suggestion, just like I feared. So what now? Can you delete it or are we stuck with it?
Fizgig June 08, 2017, 03:45 PM
Sonja.... I could be mean and say you're stuck with it, couldn't I? LOL! Not sure why YOU can't delete notes.... I mean, if you can delete comments.... Huh... Anyway, I'll remove the note =)

What do you think of the crop suggestion now that you've implemented it? Did I have a good idea?

Yes, it looks better.
I had tried to have it more informative on the location of the tree, but that was futile anyway as the real bottom in front of the tree that could have added the depth did not show. Actually took the hint up with a similar problem composition today, loosing some building foundations and distracting road signs (we see after all enough of those when doing captcha).

As for notes, it seems I can choose by level who can draw rectangles with a text field into my pics and make it so strangers just can not, but I get no delete button for any but my own notes.
Shall I try to make some test note into your newest shot just to see if that is not just a glitch or me doing something wrong?

Sonja.... I am able to delete fotonotes... Maybe it's an acct. level feature like not having to deal with captcha? (I have a "plus" acct.).
Sonja June 09, 2017, 01:06 PM
Are you sure? I can delete my own also, no matter if on my or other people's pics -- just not those of others as those won't revent to editing mode when I click at them, of course, and this also if they are on my shots.
Fizgig June 09, 2017, 01:49 PM
Sonja.... That's what I meant.... Deleting the fotonotes of others on your pictures ;)

I see you plastered one of my shots with a fotonote =P I was able to delete it with no problem.... I really think it might be a limitation on free accts. that prevent you from deleting fotonotes left by others.
