Crop If You Must

The image above is a severe crop from a 4 image stitch. Of course I wish I had seen the crop at the time and framed just it, but I didn't. So I have to make do - and though I can't make big prints with this, it does make a very nice 8.5X11.

It was shot with the 70-200 so I could easily have switched to the 300 mm. f4L lens that is extremely sharp. In fact, I can go back and rephotograph it - though whether it would glow the same way or even look the same is iffy. Still, I will try.

This is about the fourth attempt at cropping this image and is the first that I feel is really successful. This is a portfolio image, size notwithstanding.
