Wishes advice on this for an entry. It is really neat, gets lots of comments and stares but how will it do in competition and is there a way to crop it to get it better?

Please, as always, be honest.

It was taken in a park and is a drinking fountain with a fall colored leaf in the bowl of the fountain.

Here's another view with less crop.

I personally like the more generous crop (the 2nd image) - I honestly thought of something completely different when I saw the first image...

I agree with Heather, I like number 2 better and my mind went somewhere else with the first one.

Hi Linda;

This is how I see this image... flipped. I blurred part of the fountain so the main subject became more important. I hope all changes give you some good ideas.

[Linda_Gregory]

She says THANKS! And we agree with the first, just were looking for alternatives.

D. Craig, your flip does look good.

Now, is this a worthy image? We like it but are we too close to it?

Oh....and the ever present title issue, any suggestions anyone?

Hi Linda;

I'll keep thinking. For a start ... "Copper Curves".

Hi Sue Ellen;

Your mind must work the same as Andrea's. I hope she reads your title idea.
