Default Baiting up

Hi all

Two things. Do you think the bottom should be cropped and should the light reflecting off the water be toned down a little?

Thanks Jase

I've come back to this several times becasue I didnt know quite how to answer your questions because I am really torn.
Yes, I think the bottom needs to be cropped a bit. But, a bit more space could reall add to the left of the image.
The lights in the water, Man I dont know . They really kind of make the image. The lights, the glow on the gloves and the cross (yes I know it isnt really a cross) could make this a very spiritual image
You obviously did a great job as your image has really made me think. Thats what art is all about isnt it?
It's also memorable, which has made me return several times to check it out.
All in all, great job!

you can crop a bit. but the reflection and bit of glare does make the photo nice.

Take about 2 inches of the bottom and it would be stellar!
