|   The mountain is Pikes Peak in Colorado. This shot was taken from my driveway. I use the editor in Picasa2 to darkened the shadows to create a silhouette in the first image and an effect they call Focal B&W for the second. Griz | |

| Both are very good pics John. I would crop about 3/4 of the bottom off to lose most of the silhouette.  |

| Leave the same width. Too many people worry about getting the 3:2 ratio instead of producing a great picture. When printing just make sure the image is centred. |

|  I cropped the top as well as the bottom, just seemed needed to balance the picture. Yes, hipster. I live in the Springs. Griz | |

| That is better, you casn see how the sky is the dominant feature now and not the big black nothingness at the bottom. |

| Love the edit - brings out the colour and it's better balanced now. Super capture ~ John | |
