Thanks for the kick Sierra. The image was shot with an SLR and so obviously has the 3 x 2 native ratio. I like to keep my images at 'standard' ratios and I previously tried cropping at 4 x 3 but this severed some leaf tips which spoiled it, so I stuck with 3 x 2 and the extra space at the top. However, prompted by your comment, I went back to the image and tried again, and tried 7 x 5, which I've previously ignored. Not only does it solve the problem for this image, but I find I really like this aspect ratio and I think it will likely become a default choice for me. Thanks again, -Najinsky

I think this would look beautiful with about 1/4 from the top cropped, IMO. Either way I still like the other 3/4's of the image ;)
