Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 3:05 pmCrop out the 'greens' and definately a keeper!
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 3:14 pmDefinitely a keeper Justin. I'd crop this square to get rid of the vacant space on the right - keep a fair bit of the foliage and have the flower central. Well done!! Cheers, Mick 
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 4:19 pmBeautiful work Justin! - Leave it as is, well how it is currently anyway.
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 5:17 pmThanks all - Yi-p - what do you mean the 'greens' the leaves around the flower?

I agree with the above as well - brilliant shot but I'd prefer to see the flower as a more striking centre-piece and I think cropping would accomplish this.
Also, wanted to compliment you on your observational skills in regards to finding the spiral pattern. Great job!

umm.. yes, scientific approach here, Cough... Cough.. wandered off into the bush to do whatya got to do after too much water... that's a pretty yellow thing, let's get a snap of that... some hours later... back at the ranch... phwoah, that's a keeper... and here we are!
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 9:07 pmAlright - square-ush crop. I personally am not sure, I like the sense of space around the flower...
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 1:04 amClose call, but I think I prefer the original crop as well. That blueish background is kinda lovely.
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 7:10 pmNice shot Justin & the original crop is better
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 7:41 pmWell, I just slightly prefer the square crop - just seems to "pop" a little more to me. Cheers, Mick
Me too...
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 7:50 pmI think I like the first one better, but I am not sure why because convention dictates to get rid of superflous staff and cetre the main subject.
