The beginning, or the end?

I have considered rotating the photo, but decided to leave it unaltered (this is exactly how it appears on film, and the 8x12 print this is scanned from)

Any recommendations on croppng and exposure?

love it - your exposure is pefect for this shot - great contrast

That's a nice shot. I like the crop, but my eye keeps going back toward the horizon because it's not quite level. I'd maybe turn/crop it to get the horizon right, but other than that it's great.

I have thought about the horizon and I will look into it, This by the way isnt a crop, its the entire frame, just wondering if there is a crop besides making the horizon level, to improve the pic, thanks :)

the horizon is level on the negative, its just a bad scan, i had a look see.

I feel it's a bit top heavy and would like to see it cropped about 20% off the top to where the first bit of clear sky is.
