    Beautiful. The light on the left water is a bit distracting, not sure you can do anything about it, tho.

    Thanks for the comment and critique. I dunno, I kind of like the light on the water. It portrays the conditions at that time pretty well. It had been mostly sunny yesterday and the storm clouds were just rolling in. What does everyone else think?

    You could probably dodge it a bit or use a graduated fill to darken it, but I agree with you Bear. I kind of like the light on the water. It is part of the weather at that moment. Go with your gut, but experiment just to see what you think.

    I myself, really like the reflections on the water. I think the sea would look too flat without it.

    I say crop it
    good shot.

    opinion seems to be split on crop/don't crop.
    I'd say take off a third of the sea and a touch off the top too.

    Ok, here's a crop per Adrian's suggestion. I kinda like it.

    Now, should I flatten the highlights on the water a little? (sorry wxwax, I ain't takin' it out. :D)

    The crop really worked for this picture. I like the contrast of the first one better.
