Trying a minimal approach

I think your composition works very well. The foreground has a lot of subtle differences in it. I might agree that it should be cropped higher if it didn't have those nice, little variations. Also, when I crop it to where the highlights hit the right bottom, it loses a lot of sense of depth.
I do keep looking at it cropped to a panoramic image. I think it works if the top is cropped just into where the yellow lightens (about an inch from the shoreline on my monitor). But, I like the coolness of the blues, in the original.

That is simply stunning. Less is more. Great to see some new workmfrom you Aaron.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I haven't really shot much over the past year or two and it feels good to be getting back out again
