Hi, I have this picture of the crowd at Botanic garden last year where there was this concert going on. Shows a wide-angle of the crowd, but I think it is quite messy or has too much details. Any suggestion on how I could or should crop it to improve the composition?

Comments and suggestions are most welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi WK,

Try cropping off 1 inch off the top and bottom. Convert to B&W and up the contrast and brightness level abit.

and entitled it "MASS". I like the randomness of the people and the concept of "WHERE's WALLY" here

i kinda like the picture, FWIW. Point of attention would be the guy at the bottom right, drinking and facing the camera.

Thanks for the suggestion. Let me try that out tonight...

I suggest cropping out the trees at the top and the guy with the drink. It leaves a very nice bare green patch with the lone caucasian girl on the right middle edge, which if you observe is where every one is facing. I think the concrete in the original is too distracting.

Love Sniperd's idea of the Where's Wally thing...

Think it looks better in the orginal colours. Never seen a Where's Wally in B&W. Anyway, I like the evenly distributed red shirts in the original. Thought it contrast well with the greens...

suggestion only
