#3 The one with the room at the top but some of the bottom cropped off.
Good point...........so I should have made a third crop.

I prefer number 1. Photo seems unnatural to me—fisherman and sand are too yellow imo. Otherwise I like it.

The first one. Forget the 2/3 rule sometimes, this one is better at the 50/50 rule.
Two more for number one. As for the color, it was late afternoon and the lighting was a gorgeous golden hue so it was not unnatural at all.

Photographed at Robert Moses State Park, which is part of Fire Island NY. Which, if either, crop do you prefer? Further critique, comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

At first I didn't see much difference. Then I noticed the fishing pole reaching the top on the second picture. Though I like beautiful sky I had to opt for the second one because the fisherman seems to be at least partially the highlight of the picture.

I prefer the first capture. I might crop it further from the waist. That way, you get a better expression on the person's face and some of the waves.
If you like my suggestion, thank you.
If you don't like my suggestion, I apologize.

Number two for me......it tells the story but I think the composition is more compact.
Thanks for commenting Photophly.

My recommendation too. My eye was initially drawn to to the narrow slice behind the fisherman.

No.1 is the better of the two.
But I would have allowed even more sky above the rod to allow for its movement and cropped some off the beach at the bottom.

Valid points Jolly Roger, thanks.

I prefer the first image ....as it is less more open in the sky than the second version.

I like #1, too, for the spaciousness. Somehow the fishing rod seems to distract in the second one.
Two more like #1. Thanks for taking a look guys.

#1 for me, also. I like the balance of sky and sand better.
Thanks for opining BlueMorel.
