The cropped version looks great, but I really liked the original. It
had a lot of interesting compositional features that made it
many-layered for me. For instance, the dead tree was a clean highlight
to contrast with the dark shadow. The tree was also an interesting
"real" counterpoint to the more nebulous shadows, including the
stairway to the bridge... it goes on.
Well done either way.
