M11-P, 21 mmm, crop.

Nice weather here in Denmark, Bornholm. Criticism gladly, (especially what and how to do it better/ differently).

I think that I would crop out the photographer and lose some of the foreground to balance the composition.

Thanks David for Your suggestion;-)

The wife and the swan.

The wife and the swan.

Dear Jochen, my reasoning is that it could be that the photographer is superfluous to the image and maybe a distraction from the swan and the woman. The swan would also appear as a greater part of the picture.

If you just cut off the photographer the composition will become out of balance in my view, unless you have more space at the left in the original framing.

The photographer is the whole point of the image. I like the storytelling

Maybe, but it does explain the subject of their interest. The panorama crop is a good idea, but otherwise it is a good photograph as it is and well seen. IMO of course.

The swan is too small in the frame to be the central focus of the image, so the whole story is the swan being photographed by the man while the woman (wife?) observes. If the photographer is cropped out, it's just a relatively boring photo of a woman looking at a swan. 

If other lenses were available, I think a better image would have been made by getting behind the photographer and using a longer lens, possible not even including the woman in the frame.

If I’m not mistaken, after all the opinions here, we did not see the original uncropped 21mm image yet. And since photography is a highly intuitive thing, the first impulse to shoot deserves some respect and consideration.
