The square crop, definitely! It's not that the street light was ugly, but it was an unnecessary distraction, as the main attraction is clearly the illuminated stained glass window.

I like the version with the warm glow of the light on the right. Adds some warm balance and is moodier and visually appealing to me. Also informs the viewer of the source of the warm light on the snow that's still visible in your square crop. Beautiful shot. Love the mood.

Your experience of returning to the rock with ice and not having the ice (or probably the same light) reminds me of a "lesson" I learned a while ago... Whenever you see a scene that strikes you as interesting enough to photograph, don't pass up that opportunity with the thought of returning later... The scene caught your attention for a reason--photograph it...and if when returning later things are better, great, but sometimes (as was the case here) it's not, and sometimes you don't return at all because your journey takes you somewhere else... Bird in the hand...

WITH the orange street light...two reasons...orange and blue are great colors together, and also the light illuminates the tree, with is beautiful. Ok, a third reason... there is an orange color cast on the snow and without including the tree/light, the color cast doesn't fit with the rest of the scene.

Lesson I learned years ago, is that I see a potential shot, take it right then and there before moving on. There was a time I was at the Seattle waterfront and I saw a nice colored reflection. I debated whether to take the shot and risk missing my bus. I quickly took a few shots and hooft it to catch up on time. I showed my co-workers my shots and many of them said the reflection was my best out of all. I worked my butt off for the other shots yet my spur of the moment last chance shot came out the best. Who knew? So now if I see something and I'm not 100% onboard, I take it anyway. I can always delete the image at no cost. Not taking the photo is the cost...

Oh and your drone image of the sand causing the Pareidolia , pretty cool. It's when your mind will see something in a pattern.

One of the problems with a photo backpack is that while they are the best tool to get stuff from point A to point B, I've found them to be just miserable to work out of. I have a decent Lowepro backpack and I can carry gear easily with it. But I find that I turn down photo opportunities like you did because I know that if I unpack HERE, for THIS shot, then I'll have to pack everything up, in order to move on. It becomes my hope then that a better shot - one worth stopping for - is right around the corner. And like you I miss shots. I find that if distances aren't very great I'm better off with a shoulder bag. Gravity is my friend then, rather than a foe, as it keeps the lenses in the bag. Then I'm much more likely to stop and take the picture. Obviously I have to carry less gear but that just means a little more planning.

Of the church images, I much prefer the square crop. That orange light is really bright and so close to the edge of the frame, it takes the eye away from the church. Plus I really like how that tree frames the church. Chris is gonna love that lens. I bought one myself a few months ago. I rarely shoot wider than 24mm, but that lens makes me look for excuses to use it.

I immediately thought I would have liked for that street lamp to not have been there and then you did the square crop to remove it.
