Sometimes you just aren't finished. ICM and closeup

[Hali]

So many times I finish an image, and then when I run the resizing action on my tk panel, I suddenly see something that I like that's just a fraction of that image. This is one of those times. An ICM from our recent-ish trip to the Bahamas. Top is the cropped area and the bottom is the full image. I think I like them both, but I think I like the top one a bit more.

I would have to agree with you, I like the top one better. I feel the yellow reflection in the bottom image is a little distracting. I also think the cropping in on the top image makes the blurred waves larger and more interesting. I am not saying the bottom image is bad, just that I am more drawn into the top image!

Thank you so much, John. I think you encapsulated in words exactly how I felt! I really appreciate that!
