Which crop works better? I think I like the second one better, but I'm afraid there might be too much detail lost from that extensive crop.

Tricolored Heron- Which Version?

Is the detail sufficient here? Thanks.
Cool hairdo. :) I prefer the vertical crop and would try to remove the color noise.
That hair style is very popular these days :)
Nice shot!
I too prefer the vertical crop, I think the composition is much stronger than the original, and the greater visual interest more than makes up for any loss of detail portrayed.
I like the second version too, Amy. I see a cyan color cast all over the image. Adding some red in Color Balance may take it off.
Thanks Fab. I wasn't sure if there was a cast or not. I'll give it a try....
... and it worked like magic.

Hi Amy
I LOVE the vertical. THe repost still seems to have some color noise. If you can manage that the image will lift above fabulous!
Vertical works way better, I would warm the whole thing up a bit and I would also consider darkening the BG a tad. Lovely detail, pose and light.
Congratulations!
Axel and Akos, I don't believe I know how to get rid of the color noise. I'll will take some investigating how- or if someone can give me instructions on how or refer me to a tutorial, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!Originally Posted by Ákos Lumnitzer
Good idea, Ramon. I will do that on my color noise free version, if I should ever learn how to get rid of it.
Amy, most noise removal programs have the option of eliminating either "luminance noise" (what we would compare loosely to film grain), or eliminating "colour noise" (the coloured speckling usually introduced by bringing back underexposed areas, especially on dark colours). You can select the area(s) in question and run NR on those. Like the others, I love the vertical crop, and good job eliminating the cyan cast (good advice by Fabs!)
I really appreciate the noise removal help, Daniel. Thank you for teaching me something new. This repost has the noise removed and the bg darkened as recommended by Ramon. If anyone believes it needs additional work, please do let me know!
YES! THat is it Amy! Well done. I didn't get back to you earlier. Sorry. I love it as is now! Congrats! :)
You are a quick learner Amy, well done. I prefer the vertical.
