The sky is perfect. Not a critique but a question: what about cropping it about midway up the prominent black rock at the bottom?

I think the black rock is a nice anchor. And I like the detail of the submerged rock next to it. The aspect ratio of the original photo is a little uncommon. But i think that adds to it's interest in this case.

I think you'd love it.

Sadly, that project that took me up to Cambridge got canceled. So, I don't see an easy way back soon.

Is it 16x9, or some other format? Is it created by cropping, or is it a setting on your camera?

I don't think God made the 35 x 24 ratio, so I crop as I see fit.
