Beautiful scene but I think it would be stronger cropped down to a pano.

Lose the dead bush in the foreground and eliminate at least some of the blank sky. No clouds = no interest. The best color is down closer to the mountains.

Thank you yagimax and Jay!

Jay, I agree with your suggestion. I normally chase clouds during sunrises/sunsets, but this didn't work the other morning. I will play with cropping, and see what I get. I appreciate your comment and suggestion! :)

Possibly one of the ways to crop this? Honestly, I am not a big fan of panoramas, so I am not sure if this is working better than the original. But I do agree that the mountains stand out better with the crop.

Update: Here's the edited version with off-centered mountains, and more of the city in the frame. I do like this much better now. Thanks for your feedback on this! :)

Better, but I'd slide the framing down to see more city, less sky and get the horizon off dead center.

I do think pano is stronger.
