I like the original better - it has a certain 'wholeness' to it, a completeness, and the dead leaves (not bare spots at all) add a significant contrast to and interest in the bluebells, and to the trees surrounding the clearing.
The cropped image is just that - cropped, and not very interesting for me. It seems incomplete. Maris David J Brooks wrote: > Yes thats a bit better.
