Hi guys
Sunset in the North Sea with Fair Isle on the horizon.

Comments welcome. Should I crop some of the water out?

The sky and sea at half way balance doesnt do much for me, colours are excellent, but then I'd prefer a panoramic crop out with less water.

Due to the fact that the water isnt that special in this pic. I would consider removing 90% of the water and keeping the sky. Break your pics into 3 parts water. Mid is sky. Top or Back is upper sky. Try it. Good pic nice colours.

Unfortunately this doesn't do anything for me.

It reminds me of some of my travel photos that hold an association with a memory that is special for me, but is just not captured in the photo... :wink:

(Can't wait to see some more pics from the trip - the puffin was awesome

I tend to agree with what has been said. I like the colours, though, and think it would be a shame to toss it. Maybe a radical crop could give it a bit more impact by making it more abstract? A had a quick play with it:

What do you reckon?

Cheers

Thanks for the comments guys.

I took many different shots of that sunset with varing compositions. I do have one similar to your crop Steffen, and I do like it.

Will get around to pp my portrait crop and some of the others over the next few weeks and post the one I like best.

Thanks
Craig
