Not sure I understand what you are saying; cropping under the horizon?

I have several framings including the one that you are mentioning, I can post them tomorrow, I just preferred this.

Post by: armand on September 08, 2014, 11:53:37 am: One question that I have on the first photo is if you would darken, lighten or leave as is the horizon. It has information to be brought up, I just preferred to keep it "just there" as balance but nothing more.

IMHO, just leave it.

This is a very pleasing image.
