    This is gorgeous Brian, love it. Only one little thing, the crop seems a little bit off, maybe a bit more sky or
    foreground? 99% i crop 1:1.618, the rest of the time i crop square. Excellent shot !

    Hi Ali – is there a technique for keeping that ratio when cropping ?

    I use Photoshop so when you click on the crop icon you can specify the ratio.
    Of course this will alternate depending on whether you are cropping landscape or portrait.

    Appreciate the advice ali ,I got that shot with my 30mm sigma and didn’t have the 10-20 at the time.
    The shot is almost as original except for the width.

    I will be back there though ,hopefully I’ll get it right next time :)

    Cheers.

    Well unless you are going to print it a large enough size i wouldn’t think there is any need to go back
    and retake it. I hope you don’t mind but i took the liberty of cropping it to show you what i mean.

    Learnt something new here today…thank you all! Brian your photo is great but I can’t believe the difference Ali’s crop made. It adds to your photo….seems more pleasing to the eye. I’ve never considered crop ratios before so I guess I’ll be starting to take note!! I’ll also admit now that I don’t have or use PS!!! Freak, I know! Gotta get me some software! ;o) Thanks for the learning all….and Brian for the shot.
