| Very good choice of crop from your original and I really do like the way the borders work on this. The mist is gorgeous. |

| Love the crop and the border. I am intrigued as to how you extended the water on the left! |

| Composition is just wonderful, and what a difference the crop makes form the original. I'm usually not a fan of big borders, but it does work the nearly silhouetted ducks. There seems to be some sharpening halos around the high contrast edges. |

| Each version has its own merits. I like the horizontal composition better but I love the mist in the vertical one. They are both lovely. |

| The mist on the water, gives your picture a really interesting effect, brings a type of mood to the composition. I think what you have done, works well, good photo! |

Knowing you'd added space at the left, I can see some repeated patterns of ripples. If I hadn't known, I wouldn't notice, probably.
I like the mistiness of it. |

| I kind of like the full vertical composition better, though that makes it more a "landscape" than a "bird" shot. There is some haloing around the upper duck, though I see it's naturally present in the original; you processing has accentuated the effect somewhat. |

| I can see where you wanted to capture that mist in the original. The crop and border tho is a great addition. Adds more drama and you can still see some of that mist by the rock. Very nice. |

| Your change in crop was an excellent choice here, it gave a much nicer composition. The added contrast and border add nicely to the image as well. |

| I like this crop a lot better. It brings my eye back to the ducks instead of wandering to the top of the image trying to figure out what is in the background. I like the mist rising off the water. I might also try to bring out a bit more of the red and orange tones reflecting on the water. I think, all in all, a good edit. |

This is a good edit, but I feel you have lost some of the atmosphere caught in the original. I liked the rising mist and ethereal quality.
This edit does bring the ducks out more and is still a misty shot. Not sure if I really like widescreen borders, but it is matter of personal taste. Good effort:) |

I wrote my editing steps as a comment instead of writing them in image details, edited to fix. :)
