Photo survey, or Adventures in Cropping

Most of the photos I post here have been cropped for one reason or another.  I would like to show you three versions of one photo, and invite you to comment on which of the cropped versions is the stronger image.

First, the original image.  I was looking out the door of the community center in Rio Verde when a vulture landed on the house across the road.  They tend to stay put for a while, so I stepped inside and got my camera.  Here is the photo as I framed it as I took it.


Now, the first cropping.  Note the yellow door is still included in the image.



And now the second cropping.  This one removes the color and leaves the black, grey, and rust.


Marguerite and I disagree on which is the stronger image.  You are invited to comment on which one you prefer.

  1. Jeff, the cropping with the door is the more interesting photo.
