HI Jim. I prefer the second crop. The horse on the left of the first did bother me even in the thumbnail. If you have any detail in the foreground snow, I think it would be helpful to include it. If not, it’s not a big deal. One very minor nit: it looks like there’s something weird (a white rectangle?) over the eye of the center horse. You might want to zoom in and look at it.
Dennis, Thanks. I can work on the snow. The eye actually looks like that. There are about 50 horses and some of them have eyes like it. Reminds me of the eyes of some husky dogs.
