Lone maple on a drumlin - a photo on Flickriver

Lone maple on a drumlin

            I pass up lots of these sorts of opportunities--they've become so cliche--but this one seemed to demand my attention.  In fact, I shot it as a wider panorama; however, a little cloud conspired to thwart my efforts, as it caused a dark smudge on the next frame to the right that prevented it from blending properly.  
So, I struggled with how best to crop what was left.  Should I have followed the rule of thirds to achieve a perfect balance by cropping away some of that 'negative' space on the right?  Or would that simply have destroyed that bit of tension that seems to draw you to the vast emptiness on the right?  Such are the profound dilemmas facing the would-be minimalist photographer :- )
