Good picture, very impressive.

may i suggest cropping out the foreground? i think turning it into a landscape format with the birds as the foreground tightens the subject matter. what do you think?

Nice work. I think it looks pretty good cropped to more of a square format, too--cropping out just enough of the foreground to leave in the dark reflection of the cloud on the right.

I did it in both crops origanally, but when I printed it in 13 by 19 I didn't like the horizon in the center of the frame. Rule of thirds and all. I guess I should have made it a poll question. Thank you all for the input.

thanx

personaly I think splitting the difference would work. The reflection is cool.
