I'm amazed nobody's commented on this one, Jeremy. The middle-ground trees and sandbar are beautiful. Very interesting shot.

How did I miss this one?  An absolutely beautiful image!  Love the tonality and the red in the clouds.

Everything is in place. I like the orange cloud especially.

Nice image

¿ but why cropping it into a square format having the chance to show more on both sides ?

I'm curious, what will more add on the sides? More for the sake of more?
I think the square carves the composition really well.

If you like it OK good for you but, ¿ is it not allowed to ask if there is more and so have the possibility to get a better understanding for the square crop ?

If not, then Apologies to the Author of this image as well as to future images in square format ... as well as apologies to you petermfiore ...

Nice colors.

The composition does look a bit cramped, especially on the right side. A little bit more breathing space and improved balance would help.

Thanks, all. I was hoping someone would say something, and this wouldn't turn out to be yet another of my photos which didn't excite any interest at all.

The crop has everything I captured horizontally; I've removed an expanse of uninteresting loch from the bottom. I take on board the point about space to the right.

Hi Jeremy,

So if I understand correctly you shot that image in Portrait format ? Did you shoot the same in Landscape format ?

Would be interesting to see it in the original version without any cropping.

I've come back tooth's photo a few times now, Jeremy, and my eye keeps getting drawn to that expanse of bright sky along the top. Being the brightest part of the image, my eye calibrates to it and the rest of the image loses its impact. Removing it or darkening it may allow the rest of the image to proclaim itself as it should.

Fair point, Terry. I think removing it would place the "eyebrow" pair of reddish clouds too close to the top but I'll see if I can do something about the brightness.

Terry, I've darkened the upper part of the sky a little, while trying not to make the cloud sitting in it too dominant. Is that what you had in mind?

Slobodan, content-aware fill, with a little extra editing, is a wonderful thing. Better?

I agree with both your points.

Rainer, yes, I shot in portrait and didn't take one in landscape. As I recall, there wasn't much of interest to the right. Here is the uncropped (and largely unedited) version, which I think has too much water.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks. That vertical shot gives me more seeing pleasure then the cropped one ...

Maybe it is just me  :)

Nice! I like the cropped one better too and would personnally crop out even a bit more water.

Cheers,
