Nice sunset John I would crop some of the FG.
Very nice John. I think I would leave about 1/2 of the FG.
i too feel cropping foreground was a bit too heavy because it made it too narrow making the image too blank towards right end; so better cut half or two-third of the rocks....
Its very nice image indeed; second one is also nice
I meant it almost that way
Just to provide 'balance' - I like the first shot pre crop better than your alternatives. I also like the way you have captured the yacht - it is so cliché to have it in the sunrays, your capture avoids this perfectly.
Your second crop is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the original.
