Default Newbie - cropping help - Longest Watercrossing Cable Car in the World at Sunset

Vietnam 2010 Ricky 811

Brand new to photography and just got back from a trip to Vietnam. I took this picture while at dinner of the longest cable car crossing water in the world at sunset. The photo has not been altered at all. Please help me with how I should crop it and any other advice on composition and color (and really anything else) would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to learn as much as possible from great people like you. Thanks in advance

Canon EOS Rebel XTi
1/1000s
f/4.5
ISO 100
Focal Length 18mm

Straighten your horizon first. Then you can make a better judgement of the composition.

I'd crop some on the lower and on the right side, moving the sun some more on the right in a horizontal format (not 3:2 or 4:3 but 4:2 or so).

Watercrossing Edit of Rickythe third's photo posted on DPS

Quick 4x6 crop in NX2.
I think this will help focus on the cable cars while not losing the reflections of the sun on the water and the nice color in the sky.
