Pre-dawn light over Mono Lake, Venus and Moon near Conjunction.

I've been playing with cropping the right edge of this photo,

but I have mixed feelings about it. It makes the placement of

the moon and Venus (more visible in the final prints, they're

small) more comfortable, but cuts into the arc of morning light,

which feels to me more like a primary subject. At any rate,

comments on this issue quite welcome (as are comments or criticisms

of any other aspect of the picture.)

Very well executed! I like everything about it.

it is great the way it is

I agree, don't crop. It's a wonderful picture.

I have to agree on the not cropping... The arch of light would not be as dramatically beautiful and outstanding as it is without the black space above. Nicely done...
