Dramatic moody lighting in the woods - landscape photography in Dorset by Rick McEvoy The original composition which I still really like

I saw this sunlight just catching in the back of the scene. You can see this in the background in the original composition below.

But when I crop in on just that area I get a much more impactful image.

Well I think so.

This has turned an image I really like into an image I really really like.

One word of advice when you produce an image you are excited with.

Leave it for a couple of days, then come back to it. If it still excites you after a couple of days then great.

Try it and see.

Quite often I come back to a piece of work I am excited about after a couple of days and can be quite indifferent about it.
