Sorry Philippe,
But the scene cut in half version makes the water too small and looks like 
it was tacked on the bottom.

I don't want to get into a "cropping match" but there is a comfort zone of 
looking at the scene. If I had to take the chopped water version offered as 
the only option I'd rather go for the original photo!

Because the water is like a strip tacked on the bottom when the scene is cut 
in half.
