I like the image a lot - it really works for me, especially the cropped version.

Thank you Raj,I'm learning PS CC, so I will try this effect too

Please I really enjoyed processing it. Forgot to mention, you can choose different blend modes for different effects of textures on the image. Thanks

Ok....I'll be the dissenter.

I like the original crop. I like it because there is more of a separation between the viewer, me, and the guy far down the path. This adds a little feeling of desperation....I can't get to him. Which I like and I think totally makes the image. There's a stronger emotional component that's subtle at the same time.

Make sense?

The use photoshop? I did not expect. It is wonderfull.

Raj, as Bob said, it works. Personally I'm having a hard time deciding which crop I like most, so again I'm in agreement with Bob on #1. There is greater depth and distance which (IMHO) enhances the 'feel' of the image. I can see a kind of triptych, beginning with the tightest (closest) crop, the second image your second crop and the third image your first version. In other words, a photos side-by-side, the person receding further and further into the image. Just a thought....

I agree with Bob as well. The image is very captivating and the original crop, with the long foreground, really draws me towards the character in the distance. It is also a more unique composition to me because it places the horizon in the upper third of the image rather than towards the center. I also like the leaves captured on the path in the original crop, I think it adds to the overall feeling of the image. The other crops feel "cramped" to me in comparison. That's just my opinion. Great shot and PP!
