Ein HaShofet (Hebrew: Spring of the Judge) is a kibbutz in the Ramat Menashe region of Israel. It is a part of the Megiddo Regional Council, being located approximately 30 km from the city of Haifa, close to the town of Yokneam Illit, and has a population of around 800.
"Ein HaShofet" translates literally as "Spring of the Judge", with this judge being Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941), the first Jew to hold the aforementioned position, selected for his leading role in the American Zionist movement. There is a flowing spring nearby the kibbutz.

Cropping
Edited by:Philippe Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 2833 W: 305 N: 2443] (9515)
The cropping gives a greater sense of immensity imo and avoids too much space in the foreground. It also avoids the centering of the trees. What do you think?
