Hi Charles! Sure, this is an option. It looks squeezed for me. My target was to give space for emptiness, nothing. Similar to the fields, which are empty too.
Nogotiating I woud go more to a 1:1 than a landscape format.as it is too squeezed for me.
For what it's worth, I think somewhere in between the two. The cropped does feel too full especially if you're seeking emptiness and too closed in if you're seeking space; but in the original, the sky feels like an actor in the photo - a heavy weight pressing down (unless you like the idea of emptiness being heavy) or like a solid something rather than space (unless you like the idea of space being a somethingness rather than nothingness).
Emptyness pressing down... An interesting interpretation and emotion. Thank you for sharing! It is space to breath for me. Space to grow for the 2 trees.
You don't like the emptiness and cut therefore. I am personally do not like the croweded squeezed stuff and images. A kind if messed up for ke. The idea of minimalism helped me to concentrate and find the focus of my pucture. And honestly too iften I feel they suffer in being (a bit) too close. Then they end up in the drawer.
To each their own. However, in photography you are communicating to someone. Effective photography is not "just what I want" or like, that's just taste. Having said that, there's a lot of people out there with common tastes!
I really like the minimal/abstract nature of this Dg(?). I see an image that demonstrates how small our natural world is when compared to the sky and space beyond.
My only thought on possible improvement is to play with the horizon. I know it is likely sloping and trees are vertical etc but my eye so wants the horizon to be level.
:-) tilting the horizon - it would tilt the line between both fields too. A no-go for me: this line a a key element in the shot. To meet this demand 'leveled horizon' I need to find a new location....
This perfectly fulfills both minimalism and depth. Really fascinating as well!
Great photo... except this time....maybe you can guess? lol What's with the empty sky? I think it's much more interesting with much less sky.

Sure. I spent about 30 seconds on my edit and actually first cut it down even more before. I just have this thing against empty space in photos! lol

I actually like the sky the way it is. For me it demonstrates a vast expanse of emptiness in relation to the minimal trees.
I use a similar crop often in my own work, and to be honest receive similar responses to cropping.
Echoing Charles, to each their own, but it is the voice of the creator that shouts loudest (if that makes any sense).
