Re: PESO - Snowbird panorama - variants of different crops.
Thank you, Ann and Mark for your comments on these different variants (and in the other thread).

Re: PESO - Snowbird panorama - variants of different crops.
Igor - I have to say that I definitely like your numbers 6 and 7 every bit as much as what I initially suggested to you... they bring definition to the platform on the left and the gradually diminishing and scattered for of the skiers is a nice pattern.. and it brings in the main mountain into more promenance as well... Happy you are enjoying the exercise... I'm still strongly in the camp of getting rid of Darth Vader on ther right hand side ;-) ann On 3/2/2017 12:27 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Thanks to all who commented on the two panoramas!

PESO - Snowbird panorama - variants of different crops.
Thanks to all who commented on the two panoramas! I took a few moments away from all the urgent issues that piled up after several travels to play with the crops I had in mind. It is interesting how different crops can work for different purposes. In an off-list communication, Ann proposed a crop that corresponds to her vision (posted with her permission): http://42graphy.org/misc/2017-02-Utah/igorssnowscenecroppedbyann.jpg (Many thanks to Ann for the time and energy in making this!)
