I need photo help or rather opinions

I think it's interesting seeing your process. The cropping is an improvement.

I think that would be up to you as to add a frame to your photo. I like adding frames but that is just me. Usually all I do add a frame and sometimes crop depending on the subject!

I enjoy the untouched pictures the best! but that is just my opinion.

Btw, of the two you posted the cropped picture is beautiful.....you did a great job!

I like looking at everyone's pictures. Mine are no where near as nice as some!

I do have some more vides to upload..I got a good one of the cardinal.

Thank you very much.

i don't mind looking at both its up to you

Cute photo!
I think it is just up to you what you want to do. I don't think it is neccesary to post the original if you crop. But if you want to post both, then do.
I like to put frames on my stuff too and sometimes but not often will I crop a shot, if I want tighten up a corner or something. But a lot of great photographers crop their work and only show the final product.

I usually just publish whatever one looks better to me when/if I crop a picture; but that's just me.

It doesn't matter to me. The cropped photo did look best in my opinion.

I don't mind seeing the whole process. Doesn't matter either way to me. My son used to have that Blues Clues doll.

The cropped looks better. I would only post your best one because if trying for points noone wants to looka t same thing twice and if content drives more people to view your stuff than shouldn't you only give them one to vote one?

What is photo essay?

I don't mind either way.

A photo essay is when you write a post and add pictures to it. Like writing a story with pictures.

It doesn't matter to me! I just love viewing pics!!

I think it goes to how you want to express yourself, some only want to show their perfections, others like their raw work while some love it all! :0)

Thanks for your comment - they might have mini mouse one day, you just never know! That's why i love their daily deals.

both pictures are cute it is up to you,, I crop for reason of I hate the background or want full face of gson totally up to you

It really depends on what you are doing. Sometimes, it is good to show the process; other times, raw photos are the most effective, and, at other times, altered photos are better for conveying what it is that you are trying to accomplish.

The cropped shot is much better, in my opinion.

Okay I decided to create an album for my original bird pictures unedited. That way if members wish to see the unedited versions. They now can.

By the way I liked the crop photo as well and think it looks alot better. I think this picture was a good example to use on how cropping can make a picture looks million times better.

I like the cropped one best personally

Do what you like best. I think they are both beautiful. The one with the frame looks more finished. How do you do that?

I think there is a lot of value to posting both the original and the cropped versions if you are looking for constructive advice, for several reasons:

1. The original versions will give a good idea as to your overall habits in terms of composition, framing, and any general color settings or other realities evident at the time you take the picture. This may lead people to notice things that you might easily change that will result in dramatically better pictures from which to crop, where necessary. I know that it always helps me when my friends/colleagues look at my original photos, as well as the final versions. The more I do this, the less I have to process a photo in any way unless I know I need a special effect.

2. The cropped versions will also show a lot about your technique, in this case what about the photo you liked, where you were looking to get, etc. - in other words, it will give us the general idea of what you might have been ultimately pleased with if you had captured it originally, instead of having to crop.

Good luck with feedback, and I highly recommend you post both versions.

Very cute picture

I liked the cropped the best.
