How would you crop this?

Here's one pano from our recent holiday at brampton island, I'm wondering where you think it would be best to crop it. Apologies for the small image.

I like cropping at the small bush in the right hand corner but would appreciate some other opinions.

Cheers,
Owen.

The best crop would be the one where the image 'feels' balanced. What is the main focal point of the image? What is it that you are trying to convey with it? Ask yourself these questions and you will find your answer.

The purpose of the shot is to print it out big on canvas to hang on the wall. I like it how it is but I think that it could be improved by cropping somehow... I guess I'll just experiment and see what looks best to me.

Cheers.

i think the centre of interest is the small beach
that is made from that line that starts from your upper
right of the image comes down and curves back around
to almost where it started from.

so i would probably crop off
some of the green area on the left of the image if anything
and then to help balance it maybe a little touch of the sky

bringing the beach to the left of your image may also help the unity of the image but would like to here what others think aswell

p.s may i suggest adjusting the highlight area of your levels,
bringing the arrow in a little
