Square crops can often be a challenge, especially with land/seascapes. Does it suit this image?

I've tried to achieve a soft timeless effect. Does it work with this image?

I think so, it's stunning, Well done!

I think the softness of the image is great. One thing I spotted that is very cool is a sort of s curve in the clouds separating full cloud cover from the spotty cloud cover towards the top. Nice job.

Very nice exposure, Very nice mood. I love the sky.

Try to do as much cropping in the camera as you can. When you crop in software and not shooting a high end pro camera, you are lowering the overall quality of the image.

Try both a portrait and landscape image of this shot.

Try a slightly tighter shot and see which one works out the best.

Shot lots of images when trying new ideas. Digital is cheap. The more images you shoot the more creative choices you have.

Thanks

I really like the square crop - definitely think it works for this picture. Beautiful shot.
