I shot it lower and it just didn't work for some reason. I think
because it became a supporting element to the rest of the scene
instead of being the reason for the picture. I was trying to get the
rock to not dominate the scene or be the subject of the scene.
I was after the "layers" in this image. Blue Sky. Clouds. Mountains.
Water. Rock. When I cropped the image, I lost the blue sky as being
one of the layers and it just became a boundary. The water and rock
are just about balanced with each other and create a tension. I could
trim it a little bit top and bottom, but decided to stick with the
in-camera image because that's how I composed it on-site.
Lot's of new shots this weekend. It was productive.
