Reminds me of one of my favorite images by Wynn Bullock called 'Let there be light'
 
Good one. I like it best with the sky cropped out also - just the graphic "S" of the water.
 
Beautiful and I have to agree that it is stronger with the top third cropped out.

Cheers,
Bill
 
Hi Dan, I like the composition a great deal and think the top third works very well to provide depth and context.

Did you try a print with slightly less contrast? Although I like the strength of the contrast you have I would love to see a little bit of detail on the tidal flat behind the S puddle.
 
I think it can be cropped either way, but keeping the top third gives a sense of scale. I like the contrast level, never be afraid of the dark. Very nice.
