I suggest a bottom crop similar to this which eliminates most of the water. Don't pay attention to any apparent suggested changes in the left or right crops, which I don't intend.

•  Info Dutch colonial architecture - including Penha Building from 1708 - on Handelskade, a historic waterfront in the district of Punda, Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao; all by me, --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 23:01, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment - Very good quality, pretty buildings, very useful to illustrate an encyclopedia, blog, etc., and the non-water portions of the scene are interesting to look at, but the water doesn't help the composition, which is uninspiring to me. I'll suggest a crop that might work better for me (no guarantees on how I vote before I see it, but I'll oppose this version if it comes to it). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks for your suggestion, Ikan Kekek, a tighter crop actually helps the composition. I won't remove the ocean completely though. This is an image of a waterfront scene, after all. (also pinging Seven Pandas). --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:39, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

•  Support - This works for me, and I think it's pretty much the crop I suggested. I didn't want you to get rid of all the water, just enough of it so that it provides a horizontal movement and doesn't kind of sit there. This did it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:16, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment hmm, not on my (calibrated) screen. And I didn't tweak the color channels anyway, so it should be ok to the best of my knowledge --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 14:02, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
