I will add a little. I agree that the composition and colors of the second image is stronger than the first. I like that you have a slower shutter speed that gives the water some movement. I think the only change I would recommend is to agree that it would be a more dramatic photo if the top was cropped just above the tree on the left. This would keep the sunset color in the sky, but make the water more prominent, and be more dynamic because the horizon would not split the image in two.


Nice job!
