I just printed this and it came out amazing. Now I want a bigger print of it. The print is cropped a little tighter. This is the oversized crop image that I start from. I always crop a little loose and then adjust when I print.
With the ground so overexposed, you should try to darken the whole image, then just brighten him up in photoshop. I actually think this is one of the rare occasions where a square crop would look cool. Just fitting the bushes/trees into the frame. JMO
Here is the cropped for printing version
Nice! The crop works really well, I think. I often shoot super wide and tighten up afterwards to achieve a better composition.
