it's not all that often that i worry too much about cropping a shot.
mostly i shoot full frame and leave it that way. however, the shot
below which i decided on for my week 43 PAW, did have something
distracting to the right, which i have now removed.
thanks to the comments of a couple of members of the DUG for this!
sometimes you don't see things until they are pointed out - but they
were right and now the shot is much better!
