    Nice shot. My choice would be the wide #4 crop.

    Nice shot. Here's my 2 cents worth
    #1 is square looking and seems to draw one's eye to the slightly highlighted tree at the bottom of the hill which I suspect is not the purpose of the picture.
    #2 appears to compress the image from the sides which doesn't due justice to this landscape shot.
    #3 is close but the pixels you crop away from this shot to make #4 don't add (or take away) much from the shot for me
    #4 is in my opinion the crop that displays the shot most favorably. This gives the appearance of a panoramic view of a beautiful landscape which is what I suspect you intended from the beginning.

    Number 4 (last one) does it for me...

    What an interesting exercise. The different crops really change the nature of your photograph. #'s 3+4 seem to fit the traditional composition of a landscape image but I prefer the geometry of #1. The square crop leads my eye from the foreground-right, down the hill-left, and then straight out to the distant vista. If it can be said that a photograph has motion then I would say that #1 flow's naturally so that the observer sees the whole picture in detail as the eye moves along the view.

    Thanks Celtic Snapper. Nice work in all cases.

    I am drawn to the first and third comps.
