About This Image

Taken on Diamond beach in Iceland. I included the original without any real processing because I am doing a serious crop.

Feedback Requested

Is the dramatic crop the best choice? Is anything pulling you eye away from the ice and the splash? Any processing suggestions? In general any feedback welcome.

I prefer the og over the crop version. I like the hint of pink in the sky and the receding wave patterns in the fg. It also gives me more of a sense of place. I know it’s Iceland with the ice and the black sand/gravel beach. I like the processing, so no suggestions there.
