Some guidance from the more seasoned photographers
Discussion
Went out yesterday to have a play with a new lens. While I was wandering, I saw this scene and thought if I could get a decent pic it'd be the sort of thing my parents would like framed.
I didnt get the whole pic though (ie the top of the tree), so as more seasoned photographers would you return for another go at it, or try and border it so the tree doesnt look so cut up?

Andy,
Its only my opinion, but I think this crop makes a nicer job of framing the focal point, ie the spire ........

Interesting shot and cropping. It reminds me of this painting by Monet -
Personally I think it needs more space on the right hand side to balance out the shot. I'm not sure about the spire, though that certainly makes it an unusual shot, gives you a focal point and something to think about.

It's an impossible ask mate... getting the tree in from that distance would make the spire tiny. So either step back a long way with a telephoto lens, or just crop... I can see several crops that would work really well. It's a great pic, just have a play.
I really like this...and wouldn't even think about the top of the tree

Its part of Newstead Abbey near Kirkby. This is the spirePersonally I think it needs more space on the right hand side to balance out the shot. I'm not sure about the spire, though that certainly makes it an unusual shot, gives you a focal point and something to think about.

I was walking back from this waterfall
and just happened to see it peeping between the branches so thought it'd be a decent shot. It's not really my sort of thing, but thanks for the compliments.
I'm going to go back when there's more light and see if I can get another go at it. Appreciate those who have said crop it, I think I'll see if I can get it again and put that next to a crop
Good, think I managed to sneak the other shots in there nicely

Your waterfall shot is stunning. Newstead Abbey's just down the road from me as I'm in Nottingham.
S'why I mentioned it, after the Grand Central Terminal mention in the Competition chat thread I was waiting for you to post yours!GetCarter said:

Newstead Abbey's worth a wander around too if you get the chance, would be interesting to compare what you get out of it.
I've only had a "proper" camera (and a D40 at that) for around a month or so, never really played with Paintshop or any other processing packages before. I just clicked a few shots and went wild with the contrast button really
