Hi Mats, #1 for me. All look good but I think I prefer to see the expanse of the sky and water. It gives me more of an impression of the rocks going off into the horizon.

I like the first one bro.....

Same here...no crop. I like the first one for the width of what I can see.

Definitely the last one, though I would probably digitally remove the rock formation located at the intersection of the horizon and the right side of the frame. Be aware that I'm a fan of tight crops, so that surely influences my thinking about your choices.

Regardless of the crop, consider toning down the brightest area of the sky, as it draws the eye away from the subject.

Mats...I'm not a fan of cropping if one intends on making a print. What I might do is reshoot and work the scene a bit more from different perspectives. Perhaps making the distant shore go-away in PP.

The first one for me Mats, perhaps with a slight crop to the RHS. It would lose that spare rock and anchor the line of rocks into the corner.

Thank's for all your feedback. It made me certain that I should keep the uncropped version. Since I will remove the others from my website they will disappear from the post.
