love the atmosphere in this. its got a very nostalgic feel to it as well, could've been shot 50 years ago.

Lovely shot and scene there but I feel that if you crop half way across the tree to the left and half way up the water as there is imo too much water in shot it would add to the composition, Just imo though.

Is this leaning to the right?

Maybe but you got to take into account the river bank curve if there is one.

There is a curve in the river bank here but i have slightly straightened and also cropped it a touch

I prefer the original as I like The reflection of the tree

Yes, now I fell you're on solid "ground"!

Errrmmm, but now the crop has cut out the little interesting reflection on the bottom left :-(

I agree TLR-330 this is the version I like I hope you agree

I like I hope you agree

For me, the more environment the better!

Very nice! I cycled along the Wye yesterday (well, the road along the edge of the Wye), but by the time I got there the mist was all gone. Really nice shot.

Yes. The idea of cropping would be fine if it could be cropped so it would not be as symmetrical but this is what you got, and as Kodiak says, the more environment the better.

Very nice shot Sir, composition works just fine for me and I really like the atmosphere.

George.

Yes, very nice indeed, I like the straightened version
