I thought this loop of vine added to the view of fall colors at Funks Grove.

That's crazy. The large version shows your focus on the vine quite well.

John,
Quite the unique find - I was thinking more along the lines of a noose when I first viewed this... ;-) While this certainly captures and shows the odd and different growth of this vine, I can't say it's a scene I would like to see in print. In fact, you may not either and are just saying you found this unique scene. But just from a critique point of view, the blurred trunk on the right and the very bright highlights in the bg take away from your main subject, the loop. I do think however that a crop may make this stronger. A crop off the left to eliminate the highlights on the left edge and a crop from the right all the way to completely eliminate the oof tree, I thin results in a stronger comp clearly showcasing the vine loop. You almost end up with a square format, which I think works pretty good too. Just a thought.
Thanks for posting.
Lon

Lon, Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried 2 different crops. Not sure which I like best.
