Crop and go for clichees of leave it as is and go for insightful and rare drama. Very complex and unsettled happenings in the sky that have some surprising echos in the scarred landscape.
Wonderful conversion. The sky appears to be swirling above - clearly the winning portion of the shot.
I wonder if moving the cabin from dead center and placing it more to the left so that the lines in the ground highlighted by the snow could lead us into the scene
I agree with the other commenters that the sky is powerful and the main attractor which you have processed very well. Where I differ though is I feel the crop works well. I feel there is a nice balance between the fairground, trees and sky. I also like this crop as once you have viewed the sky the foreground then has more to offer with the water ruts. This adds to the story of passing rain and the sky is actually starting to clear.
That's a very dramatic sky you have there! I like the leading lines to the cabin, but the entire foreground struggles to survive in the presence of the sky.
I love it when I come across a sky like this - you captured it beautifully and with your framing made it even more dramatic - like others have commented, maybe crop it on the bottom .. might be interesting playing with the levels on this shot too but it's magnificent and shows just what a show nature can put on.
Love the clouds ..they look wicked! I like how the cabin is tucked into the woods. I like the use of b/w here, but my personal taste would be for a little more contrast.
Excellent framing, angry sky and lead-in lines to cottage. Dramatic and appealing. I'd have framed or cropped to the right by an inch to just remove the black box at left.
