A square crop would work, but not offer much in the way of improvement. Kinda iffy on square or rectangular on this one. >The second one has too much detail in the bark and my eye is atracted >by the shadow too much. > The best post-processing step for this shot would be to add a new layer over the image and fill that layer with a solid color, then flatten. This would solve the only thing wrong with the shot: bad photography. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida
