Greetings again

Use of a square crop should simplify composition creating a good visual flow. Sadly, this image falls short in this. You have cropped off the leaf on the left creating a very distracting element, whether you did this in camera when shooting or when post processing makes little or no difference, the end result is what matters. This image is not improved by being cropped square. It feels very much like it was something shoe horned in without any real thought about composition. You are not alone in this, most images fell short in this challenge (for me). Yes, they met the challenge in that the image was cropped to 1:1. Were all the subjects suited to square composition/framing, not so much.

I gave it a 5.
