Slicker Reflection

A woman wearing a bright yellow slicker walks along slightly-flooded Dock Street in Annapolis the day after Ernesto.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one and would appreciate your thoughts. Here is the first crop I did (this crop leave out about 1/3 of the original image on either side and crops about 1/4 of the top.)

Steve,

Which one are you not sure about, the left image or the other one?

Steve,

Between the two, I like the reflection shot.

Hi Warren - sorry, I wasn't clear about which photo was which. The one I was hoping would be something worthwhile is the more closely-cropped one, the first one. I just included the 2nd one for comparison to show the "bigger picture"

Steve,

The composition is okay. Even though there are ripples in the water, it somehow feels a bit static overall. Maybe there are too many horizontal elements, and none of the elements really "pop" as the main subject thus causing my attention to wander all over the image.

Maybe increasing the contrast and/or saturation may help, or positioning the 4 yellow lines at the top at more of an angle.
