Another shot from Utah last week. This is sunset at Capitol Reef right after a short rain storm. I cropped a bit from top and bottom to give it a pano look, and to get rid of distractions. I like it, but I'm not sure why. Opinions, thoughts?

Bob, could you post the uncropped image for comparison? My immediate reasction is that I'd like a bit more sky, and the deep shadow at the bottom of the image id distracting.

HI Howard. Here is the uncropped image, and also one with a little more cropped from the top, based on comments on the Facebook page.
I like the uncropped.
Thanks Jim. I can think of a bunch of reasons why I'm not a fan of it...
Now that I see the original, I also like a crop that's half way between uncropped and your original crop.
