should i crop?

[RoB_m]

i've posted this before but i'm about to make a huge print of this image and it's costing me about $14 to make, so i want to get it right. i want to know if you guys think i should keep the large cloud formation at the right edge of the image or should i crop them out?

I think it adds depth. Keep it

This may sound silly to some, but I think that if you crop it out, it will make the mountain look lopsided.

the angles in the ridges and the way the horizon slopes will make it feel as though the camera was not straight when the shot was taken.

I think you should leave it in. its only 14 dollars and you shot it yourself, which makes it that much more of a conversation piece

Keep it as is, I agree that without it the mountain by itself would not appear staight on the horizon, it also provides good depth.

Nice image.

Leave the clouds. They echo the slop of the rock formation. Nice shot!

What resolution did you get this print from? Was it 2185x413 if so what was the print quality like at only 50dpi?
