The Fisherman - Which Crop?

#1, not enough clearance over the rod in #2.
I'd consider taking off some of the bottom though.

The lower one would be better, as the horizon comes closer to the top third line, but you should level the horizon.

I’d try cropping #1 to bring the bottom right corner up and in to be closer to the diagonal from the first wave. This would also bring the horizon line closer to the middle and give a bit more balance, I think.

#3 The one with the room at the top but some of the bottom cropped off.

Dunno - the second crop seems to constrict the fisherman and even the entire photo, like there's some ceiling pressing down.

You have a valid point Cucharared, thanks for voicing it.

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.

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

Critique? Next time, consider waiting for fisherman to take another 2 to 4 steps forward, putting him in about one third of the image.

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.
