I don't have the full-blown version but the one I have works well for me. Some touch-up work, as that you displayed with the removal of an unwanted limb of a tree, enhances the story you are attempting to convey with the photo. Cropping can, as you demonstrate, capture the desired results. The photo must tell a story to have impact. One hint I got from a professional was the closer the better. If you can't get close physically, get close with a telephoto lens. Having said that, take a number of photos at different perspectives and distances to catch the story you hope to tell with the photo. Take the photos with a variety of camera settings. There will be at least one that will cause you to say, "WOW!" Very nice. I have used Photoshop of years. I don’t have the full-blown version but the one I have works well for me.

Loved the cropped close-ups, especially the chipmunk. Fantastic shot! Thanks for the great tips. Loved the cropped close-ups, especially the chipmunk. Fantastic shot!
