Cropping and traumatization ;)

… It is still sometimes hard, but I try to distance my emotions from the end result. Nature and maybe portrait photography are the most emotional types of work for the photographer, at least in my experience and so we may be setting up ourselves for a bit of a battering when it comes to critique, but in the end it will make us better if we pay attention and remember new lessons.Ok. I’ll shut up now.

Okay, @Kris_Smith , I’ve made a very considered crop here which has the pieces of the environment that to me made the scene what it was and yet because of its position in the frame it’s easy to see that the chipmunk is the reason for the photo (I think). I could go smaller but would then lose some of the green. In this photo the green was important to me. What is your thinking about this? And thank you!
