This morning I received an email from our dear friend Regenia. She didn't want to hurt my feelings by suggesting I crop out the space to the left of this tree shown in the image I posted earlier. As I told her, I'm all for constructive feedback. That's why I'm on JPG, as well as to share images I love with my JPG friends and all those into photography. As I framed this shot, I thought about doing what Regenia advised, but was attracted to the clouds and shadows to the left of the tree. Later, when I looked at an enlarged version of my original shot, I liked the otherworldly look and feel of it. I love the intimacy of this adaption, but still find I'm most drawn to the other image. Would love your feedback. Thanks so much Regenia for contacting me:)

Wonderful, iconic image. Personally I agree with Regenia, I find this version more satisfying

I don't try to analyze it too much, but I prefer the original photograph. I enjoyed the vastness of the landscape and those wonderful clouds looming overhead. I did ask my husband his opinion, without telling any of the details at all, and he prefers the original photograph (he is a very good professional artist). I believe beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, and we all see things in a different manner. That's what makes photography/art so special and beautiful. Great photo either way, Deborah, I just happen to prefer to first scene.

And as I knew I would...I love both versions for different reasons. Thank you Deborah for letting me see it this way too. I

I do like the clouds in the other image, but love the intimacy in this one. Also, this one seems to capture that lovely background more clearly.

This illustrates a story, whereas the other is a "scene." Each is wonderful in its own way. Classic, too.

RIchard is right! They are just different! However I find this version more pleasing to my eyes!

Here's my take on this: I perceive this one as a simple portrait with a gorgeous Italian background and the other shot, the person is simply an object in the landscape.

Donald is right! 2 different scenes completely, but I think I do prefer this one. Somehow, cropping it to this gives it more depth.

I'm with Regenia. I like this one. The subjects, landscape and person, are better seen and more pronounced this way. The other is lovely too but not as nicely framed.
