Thanks so much for the good feedback. i tried a closer crop but i really wanted to keep the sailboat and the bird in the picture. the additional space definitely helped to give the clouds some sort of "movement"

This was seriously under appreciated IMO. I love this shot -- so clean, simple and beautiful. And, I think you handled it so well -- many would have overcooked it (this includes me).

I love the composition -- I think you cropped it perfectly.

A scene that rewards a good long look. So perfectly composed. This is a symphony.

I like the clouds. Maybe cropping out the left third would be a more powerful composition.
