He's teaching his little sister about the game of football. I am looking for opinions on cropping recommendation and whether you like the BW vs Color: Thanks for looking.

    I prefer the color version.

    Personally I like the crop on it now. I like the positioning of the kids in the shot and I like the space at the top and bottom--it feels nicely balanced to me.

    Thank you both ... this is one of those that is a "tweener" for me....I could go with it as is and like it or I could do some closer cropping.

    I like the color version as well. My 1st thought was "crop tighter", but after looking again, I don't know... headscratch.gif

    Very nice shot. I think the empty space adds to the sense of movement- the kids have a place to go. I might warm it up just a tiny touch, but take that with a grain of salt as my monitor is not calibrated and I have a preference for warmer color.

    It looks great both in color and B/W, but the green is so beautiful that I prefer the color.

    Thank you all for the kind words. I'm glad to see that I'm not he only one tha the cropping is not immediately obvious. It is currently SOOC without any cropping. I also like the color version because I had just mowed my lawn and like the way it appears to be a carpet :) lol yeah I'm a lawn geek to.
