I am a big advocate of simple compositions. I found the blue mass on the left distracting. Sometimes I like to limit the viewing options. If I decide that I want the wonderful snowy mountains to be the focus of the picture, then I eliminate everything that doesn't really work toward that goal. The white snow in front connects visually to the white snowy peaks. The trees and rock add a nice midground element that contrasts well with the mountains but are not so bright or sharp that they take all the attention. I find that when I look at the cropped version my eye has no choice but to travel back to the base of those mountains and then up to their snowy tops. |
