    Still playing around with my images from St. Augustine.

    IR 20d and toned in Lightroom.
    I used Nik viveza to help darken the sky to pure black.

    should I crop some off the left?

    comments welcome.

    Michael,

    I would crop some. I tried both just before the crack and after it. I liked eliminating the crack completely as it reduces the weight of the abutment and makes the image balance out better.

    Default Nice crack!

    Hi Michael. I really like the crack! The big black area is like a magnet to my eye. It is negative space, but converting it to black has made it very very heavy. I cropped the image in half, featuring the crack, tower and palm tree. This work better for me.

    I think the crack makes the image as well as the front focused tower. I like it this way with the background still pretty much in focus. The black space doesn't bother me a lot for whatever reason. Interesting seeing this in IR as I drive by it every so often when I'm down there.

    Great image but I'd crop some of the right out.

    Hi Michael,
    I've looked at every crop suggestion........and all work with varying degrees of success but none badly........Dan' made a very strong vert comp..........but I like the people on the right......Robert's after the crack crop........definitely gave the strongest overall presentation.......some off the right..emphasises the trees......but we again lose the people...settled on a hair behind the M in your signature ( to keep the crack) and 1/2 of the black of the sky between the turret! Nice placement on everything else in the image! Can you believe 4 different crop suggestions!
