My retouched Water droplet

NOW

BEFORE


It was suggested to allow my splash room to splash, but I think it doesn't make my splash seem as grand when its cropped closer; I feel it loses some of the detail.

Suggestions and opinions?

Thanks freezeframe... I did the cropped version as well and like it much better. You're right the water needed to sparkle more.

Hi mmyers...I like the brightening and more sparkly water but giving it that much space it now gets lost. I like your original crop at the right and left edges of the water best and maybe just a tad more space at the top than you had.

It may actually be the angle that throws off the crop. When you do this again, try a little higher camera perspective so that you would be looking a bit down into the crown. I have yet to try one of these myself so I'm no expert at all.
