The lead is from the left to the right, otherwise the negative space on the right is just wasted pixels. Try it and see which you like better. -- PeterN |

I was trying to rationalize composition when I was working on it. I was left with three workable options: 1: Use your suggestion. However, then I would be left with a whole bunch of clutter on the left which was awkward to remove. Here is what was going on from the left. https://db.tt/4QrIdrV2 2: Change the aspect ratio and center the subject. https://db.tt/45q14UUg or 3: Present it as I did. There was one other possibility, have them move the "cat" to the right. For me this was more a casual look at how the X-E1 dealt with the saturated colors in that sail. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Here's my attempt. I cropped and changed the aspect ratio back: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97242118/Untitled-1.jpg -- PeterN |

Just how did you go about "changing the aspect ratio back"? Did you just change the vertical dimension? -- Regards, Savageduck |

Just how did you go about "changing the aspect ratio back"? Did you just change the vertical dimension? I know there is distortion, there has to be. I simply changed the horizontal dimension. The aspect ration can also be changed without distorting the subject by selecting the subject and saving the selection to a separate file. then change the dimension of the image while cloning out the subject. A simple coy and paste will restore the subject at its original undistorted size. I just did my change in a quick and dirty manner to give you an idea of what it would look like. -- PeterN |
