Nice abstraction evens if it is

only dirt. I think that it might be improved by a little crop off the bottom.

nothing wrong with dirt --

I think it's a fine subject. It's a stronger abstract if you crop the bottom as George suggests. But the bottom gives it context too so I like it either way.

Thanks George and Robin. I see both points of view for the bottom. This was a small hill off the road. Cropping a little off the bottom I did in PS and like George thought it was a bit stronger and more abstract. I guess I didn't mind the bottom in this one so much as it also gave a slight real-worldness to an abstract design.
