Cropping Help/C&C

[dmbecker]

Help. I really like this shot, but don't have a great feel for cropping it. If I lose more of the sky, I end up putting the dock dead center. If I lose more of the water, then the sky is gaining too much focus. Please stea the image, crop, etc., and let me know what you think works here.

I hope ya don't mind and you don't have to agree but heres my take on it. What I find interesting are the repeating shapes of the window and the peaks along witht the reflections in the water. So I thought a crop like this would help make all become more clear. The sky in my opinion wasn't doing anything to help and of those fore mentioned things.

Airfrog: I like them both. Thanks for your help. What I like is the tightness really shows the repetition of the windows and peaks of each roof. Thanks. If I had a preference, I'd say the second crop is more to my liking. You're such a help. I appreciate it.

Good eye. I really like your images.

The repeating shapes are killer and the over mood of the image is very nice.
