 I'm having trouble with this one!

1) This is only 1/3 the image. There's great light and mist throughout the bay, but when I try to include more, one of the islands ends up too close to center

2) I like the lit area on the land, and trying to include both, but does that detract?

3) I was thinking it was too red, so I let PS autobalance the color and then reduced the adjustment. But perhaps I'm being too "weak". The sun is just above the horizon and the scene was pretty red/amber!

Let me know your thoughts

This is beauuuuutiful! Absolutely love the red/amber tones. But yes, I would take out some of the foreground. I think the upper layer is stunning enough!

This is fantastic, actually, or at least has fantastic potential. I'd love to see the unaltered, uncropped original. On the cropped-as-shown version (this one, duh) I'd definitely crop out more than half the foreground. I'd also get rid of the tiny light spek upper right corner of the foreground land mass.

Beautiful image!!! I think that this is DEFINITELY print worthy. Some truly stunning colors...it just looks absolutely ethereal.

For my tastes, if you were going to offer it for prints...I would crop out some of the land at the bottom. I do like the play of light on the land, but I would let the photo start there.

Beautiful shot!
