Which Nembrotha is better

Two very different crops, which do you like?

I like the detail on the second one, but I don't like cutting off the rhinophore. I'd rather see a horizontal crop that cuts off a bit of the posterior, which is in a less focused area and not as interesting. That would also give a strong diagonal element. The second crop is a bit too vertical for my taste.

I prefer the first one too, I don't like cutting off subjects when I can avoid it. I'd have given it a bit more space at the bootom too, had it been possible...

I prefer the first one as well. I experimented with Larry's suggestion of cropping out the unfocused posterior and it looked even better.

Another vote for the first one. I'm in with penti

Another for #1. Number 2 would need to be more of a super macro shot, focused on eye, mouth, etc....

Thanks to everyone who commented. I wanted a vertical crop, since I think vertical shots are way under-represented underwater since we tend to look at pics on 16x9 monitors as well. I will play a bit and try to post one that Larry C likes.

If you post the original pic maybe we'll be able to suggest crops, if you'd like that.
