Crop suggestions

[MSnowy]

I'm having this photo printed 24"x30" wrapped canvas. These show what the front will print like. Not sure which one looks best. Any suggestions?

1 2

I prefer #2.

#1 looks like you only composed that way because of "the rules". 'Rule of Thirds' does not work in this situation, IMO.

Agreed in this situation it looks better centered

I prefer printing wider. 24x30 is too close to being a square for a "landscape" shot.

Square might actually work best here. 24x24 maybe. Why can't landscapes be square?

i would agree with what you said. I prefer square than 24x30. . 24x30 is for portrait orientation I feel like.

Have you considered this as a vertical?

I think the OP is more confused now... LOL

I prefer the first one, with the lighthouse off center...

Is there a wider view, with a more-horizontal aspect ratio? To me, the waves at the bottom of the frame are good subject matter; that massive wave hitting the lighthouse is wayyyyyyyyy cool,man!!!

Awesome shot !! As for the crop, I agree with the suggestion of square.

I am willing to stick my neck out ....I find it move interesting this way

the version on the right. doesnt seem super sharp or high res for that large of a print IMO

Considering that these are all 720 pixels on the long side, I'm assuming that they're resized.

Yeah, but still
