It seems to lead to conformity, IMHO. But that said, I cropped out the rocks. The result is here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rtaylor/PICKS/2009_boating_pad/300_4199_crop.jpg.html or http://tinyurl.com/l3ltkf The cropped version certainly emphasizes the anticipated crash, but to my mind loses the piece of information that they are both in a very narrow channel. It'd be interesting to hear what others think. Thanks.
