Truely, it does not matter. The stunning image of the bird is strong in all 
versions. HOWEVER, the position of the bird, is quite serene, and does not 
cry out for either a horizontal or vertical "movement", so the square in 
this case seems the best option. Love the tweeked colour and love the detail 
all the Leica lenes put on sensors. That DMR sensor is also "under-rated".

Cheers

I wrote earlier today about cropping options for the Merlin photo I posted 
last eveing:

http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/falconidae/merl03.html

I've tweaked the colors a bit and come up with a couple of alternate crops.  
I'd appreciate the opinions of this learned group about the various crops:

Vertical:
http://wildlightphoto.com/temp/merl03a.html

Horizontal:
http://wildlightphoto.com/temp/merl03b.html

and the original crop, with tweaked colors:
http://wildlightphoto.com/temp/merl03c.html

BTW, these crops are about 25% of the original file.  Gotta love the detail 
the APO-Telyt puts on a sensor.  All opinions welcome.
