The same edit but two different crops, which makes imho opinion two very different pictures. I would go for the first one, because it is the photo you take - and I like to have the tree as subject and not the lady. Further on I think for the second version, the resolution to show it on a bigger screen is not sufficient.

As soon as I saw the image, I couldn’t help but see a golden spiral composition. The rest of the landscape elements are “noise.” I think this composition simplifies the subject’s loneliness.

Perfectly chosen format! :heart_eyes:
You could still do some work on the chromatic aberrations, though.

Based on @Jose_Figueres great crop, I thought I make something cinematic:

Looks awesome, more depth and feelings to this version!

Love the use of shadow mate! I would crop the top a bit more just to let viewers focus more on the lady!

This looks straight out from a movie mate!

If you crop up foreground a little bit to 16:9, it would be a great photo :wine_glass: I would bump up the color saturation a bit.

Great colors! But the left side is a bit distracting :wine_glass:

Might have pushed things too hard (and it could be a bit noisy as well). :slight_smile:

DT5.3. I tried to lift the warm tones.

Since the wide format has been widely used already, I opted for a square crop:
