St Mawes (Cornish: Lannvowsedh) is a small town opposite Falmouth, on the Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies on the east bank of the Carrick Roads, a large waterway created after the Ice Age from an ancient valley which flooded as the melt waters caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating an immense natural harbour, often claimed to be the third largest in the world. It was once a busy fishing port, but the trade declined during the 20th century and it now serves as a popular tourist location, with many properties in the town functioning as holiday accommodation. The town is in the civil parish of St Just in Roseland. A year-round ferry provides a service to Falmouth, which is less than a mile away by boat, but due to its proximity to the Fal estuary it is some 30 miles away by road. The Place Ferry links the South West Coast Path and operates from Good Friday to the end of October. The town takes its name from the Celtic saint Saint Maudez (Mawe), who may have come from Ireland but is mainly venerated in Brittany. A name: 'Musidum' in Roman times, has subsequently been applied to St. Mawes, although the source is dubious. St Mawes lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. St Mawes Castle is a well-preserved coastal fortress from the time of Henry VIII, built to counter the invasion threat from the Continent. Charles Henderson, writing in 1925, says of St Mawes, "an ancient fishing town which in late years has assumed the different and more sophisticated character of a watering place". The seal of St Mawes was Az. a bend lozengy Or between a tower in the sinister chief Arg. and a ship with three masts the sail furled in the dexter base of the second, with the legend "Commune Sigillum Burgi de St. Mawes al Mauditt. Just outside the town is a closed British Leyland garage on Polvarth Road which retains the British Leyland logo on a hoarding outside. There have been frequent private visits to St Mawes by members of the Royal Family including HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, HRH Princess Margaret and more recently the Duke (Prince Charles) and Duchess of Cornwall who ended their stay in July 2008 by naming the new St Mawes ferry The Duchess of Cornwall. HM The Queen visited St Mawes in 1977 during her Silver Jubilee Tour. In June 2002 for The Queen's Golden Jubilee and, with a brand new cast in June 2012 for the Diamond Jubilee, The Queen's Coronation was re-enacted in great detail by the young people of the village in a ceremony entitled "The Children's Coronation".

Which crop is the best, upper, middle, lower or an original image?
I am struggling with the image, not sure this tighter crop gives a better reading. This is not only a question but also an exercise for myself.
どのトリミングが良いでしょうか、あるいはそのままの方が良いのかご意見頂けたら幸いです。

Bay window topped with castellation on west side and semi curved entrance porch. A rich mixture of Victorian, Gothic and modern styles.

I went along to the Aros in Aarhus mostly to shoot the arcitecture and the interior of the museum building. But when I found this installation I was sold. Spent 70 mins to shoot With different lenses on different iso. I have never filmed before and never planed to so the quality is like it is. Should have had a helper and a steady cam, but it was great fun and the roller coaster was just hilarious fun.
When I finished up (i was all sweaty since it was about 33 degrees c) i checked my phone. I had 5 unanswered calls and a text from my wife that said that we had gotten a parking ticket:p way to go:p
Shot with a 5dii and a tamron 24-70 with the is.
On a side note: It has taken about 5 hrs to try to upload it to flickr..:-(
