[ QUOTE ] Looks cool, but... maybe it's just me, but the original feels more painted to me. [/ QUOTE ] thats actually quite a compliment the point about cropping is that it's easier for the painter (or photoshop marquee wielder) to set the correct composition than it is for the photographer, at least in my case.
