It's hard to give up those gorgeous colors. Here's a crop I think works because there are more "cut off" than in the original. With the majority cut off, the result isn't so obvious - maybe.
I personally would find more interest in the reflections (if re-composed) than the sky.
The sketch, being more abstract, I felt could work with a more drastic crop. I also gave it a little more contrast and rotated 1 degree to straighten.
Thanks Keni!
Thanks for posting your version Linda. I like the crop on the color version but not so much on the other one. It feels too cut off to me. I need to look at it some more. It might grow on me.
