As you can tell I liked this spot!

The color in this image is beautiful and I like your center of interest. I felt the image would be stronger as a pano since I still retained a foreground and made the bridge more dominant.

Hey Grady,
I'm a big fan of the pano crop in this instance.....as it really emphasizes the bridge. I also like the fact that you went back........you never know what tomorrow will bring!

Grady,

The pano crop with a long structure like this bridge is the way to go when you had all this solid color in the water and sky.

[Grady Weed]

Duly noted guys. Thanks for the valuable input.

I like this shot better than the last and I like the crop but I had this in mind. Leaving a little more created a nice flow.

[Grady Weed]

Paul, that is the exact same crop I wanted to post, but did not do so. I thought the lower right dirt was distracting and cropped it out. I like this crop here much better and now feel better about printing it this way. You have a good eye.
