so heres another shot (the only other one i got of them) since its the first time they are posted on here :-)




and heres the original shot that i cropped, i wanted to see how you guys would crop this, as compared to how i did. (trying to learn how to crop better)

[Loupey]

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.

[paulnj]

The cropped version of the second is in the ID thread I do believe

[Dylan8i]

yeah crop the bigger one, the cropped image was in teh bird id thread. the smaller top image is simply another view. sorry for the confusion.

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

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.

[Dylan8i]

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.

[paulnj]

the 3:2 ratio is how I would crop

[Dylan8i]

thanks paul.
