Very beautiful - but a bit too much sky, I think.

I agree with Jeremy.

Beautiful image.

However, I agree with Eric and Jeremy that a subtle crop to lessen the contribution of the dark sky would turn this great image into something approaching perfection.

^ what they said.

An otherwise good compositon is crushed by the amount of black at the top.

Much better.

I'm no fan of compositional rules as such, but it's interesting to note that the new cropping comes close to a "rule of thirds" version, at least vertically.
In this case I think it helps a lot.

The black portion of the sky crushed the lower half of the image. The new version is well balanced, I love it!

Beautiful light. I actually prefer the first image, because the dark and menacing sky was creating more tension, like a sense of impending doom on a tranquil scene.
