Cropping; contrast
Edited by:tsvetanar Silver Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 22 W: 3 N: 54] (207)
1. Cropped so that the outer ellipse is symmetrical. I know it's probably impossible to have the whole of it in one photo so I think it's better at least to be symmetrical. Unfortunately in this way the upper arrow is cut more than the lower one but I think it's better to sacrifice the arrows as they aren't so "visible" than the ellipse.
2. Contrast: I added a little more contrast in order to stress a little more on the beautiful composition colours.
I hope you like it! :)
