    Not sure how to crop Spaceship Earth

    What do you think? I don't know if the stuff around the lake is distracting or what.

    Kurt, I do find the center image the best. Water reflections are almost always nice, but here I agree that they are a distraction.

    I would take your crop in the middle one one step farther and remove the entire water area. Then it really looks abstract - a big ball sitting in someone's backyard

    I'm going to disagree with GB here and vote for the 3rd, I know its breaking all the rules, but I just really like it, water reflections and all! I think it also does the best job emphasizing perspective.

    tough one. After thinking about it for a while, I think the 3rd one is the strongest. love the addition of the neon lights on the left and especially the palm trees and the lighter skies there. I wouldn't go that far left though, I would take out that bright red pole. As for the shot itself a little dark but still well captured imo. nicely done.
