Got dinged for cropping. I'm thinking I may have cropped it too closely?

Let me know what you guys think.
Also, not planning on getting a positive response to this, as I can clearly see why it was rejected, but I thought this one might have been able to slip thru due to the elephant style power. Any chance?

Re: Cropping help
Which way should I go? vertical, horizontal, both? And I'm really....REALLY....bad at picking up on level-ness. I just can't see it. Which way?conrailmike wrote:They are cropped way to tight.msurailfan wrote:Got dinged for cropping. I'm thinking I may have cropped it too closely?

On the second one, if I go any wider I'll be bringing in power lines on both sides. Guess that one's a lost cause.

Re: Cropping help
For the first one, do you have a shot a second or so earlier? The utility pole growing out of the top of the loco is really distracting. If you had taken the pic a second sooner, it COULD have been used for a framing feature. Try to pay attention to stuff like that when shooting.msurailfan wrote:Got dinged for cropping.

For the second, you have no chance. Common power (elephant style is irrelevant), cloudy and uninteresting scene will get you every time.

Re: Cropping help
Thanks for the tips. I definitely see what you're saying with the pole looking at it again. I have a couple I took earlier but there's way too much room on the left side of those for them to work. There is one other that was taken maybe 5 seconds prior that I rather like but I'm not sure it's quality enough, I think it would probably get dinged for foreground clutter (there's one of those white and orange gas line poles off to the side a bit). Maybe I'll give it a shot.J T wrote:For the first one, do you have a shot a second or so earlier? The utility pole growing out of the top of the loco is really distracting.

Re: Cropping help
You might want to try boosting the saturation a little bit.
