Too Many Photos

Given a remarkable view or event or a situation deemed in the moment to be rare or fleeting I tend to take too many photographs.  Then I get home and download.  Sometimes I end up with lots of bad photos and wish I'd done things differently.  Sometimes I end up with lots of great photos and with or without editing have trouble deciding which are the best, which are worth sharing, which I should just delete, which just need a simple change to make them outstanding.  I guess that's what separates me from the professionals.
  Example - here are a few pics of a Lake Michigan sunset with some ice still on the surface.

Horizontal ...

...or Vertical?
Add some foreground?...Too much?

More sky.....

...or more water?

By the way...
"Horizontal?" and "..or more water?" are my favorites,
 and I do like foreground in my sunsets if the clouds are sparse.

Thanks! That means a lot coming from a pro! I used "more water" in my Thousand Words blog. http://quotepics.blogspot.com/2011/04/4-15-2011.html

I like horizontal and more water but for sure all of them are just great!
