    I like the image Leslie I find the dirt in the foreground a bit distracting and I would crop it and leave the shadowy dark part. IMO square crop doesn't work very nice for such a lovely landscape , that's why I would also crop from the top to the end of the big dark cloud. Lovely colours and nice silhouette

    Re: Effort

    Very nice - fabulous light and the silhouette works nicely with the figure, which in turn has nice movement. I agree with Binnur that square somehow understates this, but differ in that I like some of that textured foreground, so might instead experiment with 4x5 by taking out a little bit of foreground and a little bit of sky.

    Hi Leslie , after seeing your crop , I think that cropping the big dark cloud is not necessary The composition works fine like this. You might as well crop the empty part of sky above the dark cloud a little bit if you want though

    Good image anyway, but on balance, I like the cropped version better.
