Would be glad to know how best to crop this for printing.Any ideas welcomed.Thank you.

I'd use the straighten tool to level the lines in the stone structure, and crop 20 % off the right edge and little off the top.

Hi MissMarple,
Don has already said it.
I will delete it, when you have seen it.
HIH,

Edit: Example deleted.

Many thanks both.Looks better now.

level it first

Then take that awful scalloped bit away, in fact crop up to the dark shadow from the bottom removing that strip of bright stone. crop in to the edges of both verticals on the "monument" on the right come in as far as where the branch meets the stone.

Use the clone tool to diguise the remains of the fencing on the right and left.

Thats what would happen if it was mine

What he said, this would massively improve the shot. There's also quite a strong cyan cast on the image.

this is the way I'd crop it...
also if I had time I'd clone out the fence, and replace it with foilage.
I like the stone, to me it gives a Statuesque feel to the pose of the tigers....so I'd leave it in.
I also took the liberty of playing with some blur and blend modes (softlight) and saturaation.
like so.. (sorry didn't take time to to the cloning or any reallly fine detial work, just slapped this idea together 4 u.)

I must add that theres nothing wrong with Don's suggested crop but you have to take into account that he is Canadian, and as such he's much better placed to comment on pics of Bears and Moose......not that we get that many Tigers in the UK of course

I ended up doing the crop a lttle close to the base of the plinth,into the black area and coming tighter to the rear of the tigers.The bit I couldn't see for looking was the fence.I knew there was something missing,or in this case too much.Thanks again all.Back to the printer when I get time.

Tigers are so photogenic. I'd crop close if the photo quality allows.
