Great potential in the image, but for me the bottom 2/3rds water reflection is just too bright and overpowering the band of tree colour. If yoy crop the bottom off into a wide portrait style you immediately lift and emphasise the tree colours against the brooding sky. At present the tree line is lost

something like this perhaps

Mike beat me to it.... I was going to suggest a more pano crop, the bottom of the image is just too bright, tis nice though...

Hi Guy

Love it and I think Mike's crop works well but IMO he has gone a little too tight!

Great shot! And I prefer the original! The original gives the central band of trees more impact IMO.

Lovely shot.

Pretty impressive however you look at it. I think on balance I just prefer the crop.

I love it, the light is superb. I also like Mikes repost also - they both make strong images. I think the original just has something extra about it that makes it my favourite of the two. Nice and moody. Tristan

It has to be said that I really like both versions of this :toast:

Wonderful image Guy, and I think Mike's crop just adds to finishing touch :toast:

I much prefer the original. The crop eliminates a load of things I like about the image, so doesn't work for me, but I'm crap at landscapes so what do I know.....But I know what I like :wink:
