I’m really fond of this picture, particularly the light and the perspective. Composition and cropping has been a bit challenging, I’ll gladly hear any suggestions! Hope you like it, happy exposures everyone :)

Ahah, thanks :)

Your first point is the key. On your suggestion, trimming the bottom would put the reflection out of the middle - which I didn’t like - and the darker color I thought helped “hiding” it a bit and balance the brighter sky. I tried vignette on this other shot, while in the post photo I didn’t want to darken the sky (I’m really not a fan of adding artificial vignetting):

I’ll for sure work on this perspective with the 45mm and longer lenses, taking into account the feedback I got here :)
