Might not be the best shot but I was in some practice while on a schooner trip. I think this was my first shot I tried in the fog. No time for much thinking as tis boat came zipping out of the fog. Comments and critique welcome

I love it as is. The color variations are wonderful. It's a print!

Nice one. You could crop some of the left side, but that would eliminate some of the wake.

Leave it as it is. Consider this one of those images that come out of the camera just as you saw it through the viewfinder. Beautiful and serene.

I like it as is.

If I were to crop it I would crop the top portion so that it is roughly the same height above the wake/boat as below.

this is a though question as I also have been dealing with this subject in some Lego photos I've taken.
From my point of view, I like it like this. If I should crop this it would be from the top and the bottom , making it a wide pano. Nothing from the sides. But it darn good like this as well :)

Strangely, for me, the Crop Evangelist, I agree. Lonesomeness, where he has been and where he is going... nowhere... rowing across the river Styx, forever.

Do not crop because negative space in this photo makes it work. This photo is to me a mood shot and if you crop it will greatly distract from the mood.
