OK. Here's what it looks like as a panorama... I very slightly "dodged" some of the grasses and stuff at the lower edge as that lave does look a bit heavy.

Well, as an incorrigible panorama lover, I must say that although this photo works very well exactly as it is (I agree with John in that), I do think a quite severe crop of the foreground would make another picture with strong impact. I wouldn't remove any sky at all... leaving plenty of sky above a rather busy and crowded shoreline would give it space, room to breathe if you like. I'd crop it to leave that lozenge-shaped grass area to the right balanced by the lava next to it. You get a sort of sequence of lava outcroppings dwindling to the left. Think I'll give you an example of what I mean, rather than try and explain it. Back in a moment...

Nothing against your friend, but I would leave this image alone. I like the composition just as it is. I think any foreground crop will throw the balance off because at the moment there is a nice baseline of green and brown that covers the full width of the picture and if that is removed the dark lava pulls too heavily to the bottom right. I also don't see any reason to crop the top as it is nicely balanced with the bottom. It's one of those situations where you might have zoomed in a bit to show us the trees more clearly, but didn't leaving us the wide angle view with a built-in panorama to boot. What I mean is that like your friend, I see the panorama but you show us more - you give us the context of earth below : sky above. This makes the image more powerful.

Hi. I really like the colors of this with the starkness of the trees (as you described.) I see what your friend means about another option of cutting a bit from both the top and the bottom to direct even more attention to the trees. While I like this photo also, it is fun to have options. I have attached a possible suggestion. I sharpened it just slightly. I hope this is helpful, but don't mean to distract from the lovely image you have presented here.
