Guess I can't spell tonight - Dilema.

This is one of my favorite photos, not just because it got a ribbon, but because it's my fathers favorite as well. Rocky Creek
Because of the aspect ratio, the only size print I can get out of it is a 5 x 7. Actually, that's not bad but, I was wondering your opinion on squishing the photo, making it shorter and wider without cropping it, so that I can get an 8 x 10 print and 16 x 20 out of it. Does it take away the appeal of the photo? Fattened up Thanks.

You have to crop very little of that image to get it to a 1.25:1 ratio. Experimenting in photoshop, cropping from the top-down took nothing away from the appeal of the photo (in my opinion). I definitely liked it better than your 'fattened up' version.

Joann, I like the fattening up one better. It seems a bit sharper.

That's what I was thinking. Of course, anyone purchasing our work would have them custom framed, wouldn't you agree ;).

Unfortunately, the 11x14 is not a 1.25:1 ratio.. it is slightly different... it's a 1.27:1 ratio...
