    Re: Avocets

    Hey, Dylan - these are two different images. Do you still want us to crop the larger one? I think your cropped image had more water to land ratio than this one.

    Those are pretty! I like the second shot, how they are both going the same direction.

    Re: Avocets

    OK, here are two versions. The first is with the standard 3:2 ratio and the second is with a more aggressive 2:1 ratio.

    Although I preach the do-not-crop or crop-minimally philosophy, I know that it is not always possible (macros not macro enough, teles not tele enough, ... ).

    It was helpful that your two subjects were looking in the same direction. More difficult crop assignment with the other image. Hope this helps.

    Re: Avocets

    thanks loupey, i was just wondering how different people would crop such a "simple" image to crop. i really like the 2:1 ratio crop. and yeah, i was zoomed out all the way so thats the closest i could get.
