Dan,
Your inclusion of the tongue of sand in the center means that that is very important to you. The picture is attractive with this unusual feature. I'd wonder whether you really need all of the sky in order to execute your vision. Would it still work for you with the top cropped to within 0.5 cm of the hill on the left?
Asher
it is a picture which i took on my first visit to the lake district last month! & i only included the gravel tongue as you referred to it because i thought it gave the impression of standing in the image looking out to the landscape, if you wish to repost the further cropped version you mention please feel free to do so!

Hi Dan.
First a big welcome to OPF.
I am with Asher on this one. The sky does not have any interesting features ( cloud formations ).
Imho it could be cropped as suggested. This would give more prominence to the ' tongue ' .
Regards.
p.s A quick bw conversion yielded interesting results.

Hi Dan,
Welcome to OPF.
That's a fine shot of Ennerdale Water. I agree with Asher and Fahim that ideally you should crop 1/2 inch off the top, but then again I'm a sucker for a nice blue sky.
Did you walk the complete circuit of the lake? Apart from a boggy bit with nasty slippery tree roots on the left, it's a lovely walk with a nice little scramble over Angler's Crag (far left centre).
Regards,
Stuart

I think that the tongue of sand is a great idea and I would not change the composition by cutting some of the sky. I like the way the blue draws an "X" in this picture.
So we disagree.

thanks for all the critique guys! i like this the way it is but i will also try cropping some off the sky & see what it looks like aswell as also trying the black & white conversion & will repost the 2 edited versions too! i am heading back upto the lakes on the 5th of june so hopefully manage to get some further shots too! & i never managed to do much walking on my last trip as it was just a one night stay but i will also be staying for 3 nights this time too!

Jerome,
I stand corrected; you're so right! The B&W version brings out the "X" yo refer to and the tongue does it's job! This picture, without color, has to rely on shapes and textures and does so much better this way.
