For my 2 cents worth......I like the left hand side but it loses it from the 3rd rock from the right


Canon EOS 30D, EF75-300mm USM, Sigma DC 17-70mm Macro and other bits and pieces.

It would've made a great HDR.

Crop off the right half of the pic and make it a vertical photo. The right side is washed out and overexposed.

I actually really like the gradient look of the photo with the sun on the right. :) However, I think the darker rocks on the right make it look overexposed/washed out, specifically the darkest one that's cut off.

I would try taking the vertical crop that mannetti21 did and then cropping out about 1/2 of the sky. This will get the horizon off center and make the foreground the focal point of the photograph.
