Interesting image, could perhaps benefit from a bit of cropping.

Bryan, that top example is nice...but might I suggest that you pencil a line onto your ground glass to accommodate the film holder rebate bump? Otherwise, in this example, you'll be hard pressed to realize (assuming you'd want this in a print) any "breathing room" underneath that keel and shadow. Again, you might not want to include this space anyway...but at least with such an indicator line you'd have a choice.
Yep, one of the few times that's happened...I usually compose a bit less tight. But I was up against a little creek, slipping into the sand/water. My film holder in the Beseler cuts off a little, and my original thought was to have the diagonal keel end-to-end on the paper. We will see...
Dang, I thought this was a thread about selfies!
Bryan...yes - if that shadow were to intersect the bottom of the print at its mid-point (or adjust for this for future matting) - this could work really well...so long as the very bottom of that shadow can breathe just a little. Will be interesting to see how you print this!
Bryan, I like the top one as well. The choices you made create a kind of metaphor, to my eye, with the emphasis on the jagged edge of the prow and and the sand and rock in the shadow rising up like a wave that might cause a shipwreck. A sort of implied look into the past
