Bolivian Landscape
A lone flamingo flies above the red lake in Bolivia around mid afternoon. I thought I would use a 16x9 crop.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

sweet, this is a really awesome shot. really like the 16x9 crop. I might be tempted to crop a little tighter from the top
I certainly will try that - you mean just use more of the foreground or zoom in a bit more?
either would work
Nice job, Sridhar! I don't know why people posting cropped images often refer to mathematical aspect ratios: 5X4, 16X9, etc.
If you're cropping to improve on your original file, why not just crop till it LOOKS right? Some people even allege that integer ratios like the above never look quite right, hence various "golden" ratios, means, etc, using geometry or square roots to derive non-integer proportions. I'm not so sure about these, but mention it because these kinds of ideas have been promulgated for centuries, and some fine artists still subscribe to them.
thank you for pointing that out - I too seems to somehow got stuck into those ratios. Why? I don't know - but your comment now freed me from that predicament
