You should not of had it declined, the original looks amazing, and it is nice to see the whole body of the animal. It is a great shot ....

It does ... why would anyone want a sharp crop on the bottom when the picture is perfectly balanced as it was

Thats why i wanted some opinions Michelle...i still have so much to learn about this side of photography...

Photos-By-Michelle In reply to quaddie [2011-11-09 04:59:23 +0000 UTC]

But is their crop suggestion necessarily correct, wouldn't it be fun to see which picture would get the highest amount of votes in a poll?

Thats where the subjective bit comes in i suppose,there are "rules" about composition etc...buts its easy to get too tied up in them .

Maybe i will give that a go,though probably not get many expressing an opinion ..

Brian-B-Photography In reply to quaddie [2011-11-06 16:00:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes,it certainly is

But for the record ,that while they are exacting in their voting,they are also very good at providing feedback.
I often have 2 or even all three Admins who voted replying to a request.
Pretty rare in this biz

Oh you're way too hard on yourself

We have several degrees of skill levels amongst the staff,
which all work together and manage to balance each other very well.

Besides you will find,just as I have that this is EXACTLY the place to learn

First off, YOU got declined!!! Did the world just stop spinning???!!! Personally, I see nothing wrong with the orginal photo; however, I have learned from listening to State Fair judges drone about photography that the cropped version is better. I STILL believe it's all totally up to the judges....State Fair or Clubs on DA.....

I get quite a few declined actually ,which is ok most of the time(i have left a few groups because of the number they have declined).

If a group continues to decline such excellent work, I'd walk away from them too!!!!
