Thanks for running the comp Ragnorak... Thanks for the work, the tolerance and the mediation... It's all fun
This could be the RHP Photo Club if there isn't one already?
After some great feedback from Nordlys and The Plumber, I have cropped the Mile High Club (http://community.webshots.com/photo/378312859/378312859tyRlLQ) and Salvador (http://community.webshots.com/photo/380084112/380084112eWSchg), and feel they are much better now.
Toffee crisp to those who spotted that the horizon was inclined in the Salvador pic like Nordlys. Anyway, 1 quick rotation later, and even that is fixed. This is the kind of feedback I was hoping to get from this comp/club. I spent all Friday night going through all my pics, playing with the crop function.
Quick question to the experts though, if I don't constrain the cropping dimensions, how can I get the pics developed? Or do I have to constrain the cropping, to say 4"x6" and other standard photo sizes?

Sorry, I can't help you with the cropping / developing problem. I still only do analog photography. I digitalize my pictures myself (I have a slide/negative scanner), but if I want a print from the photoshop, I give them the negative or slide. If I would want a print of a picture which looks better cropped, I would just get a normal print from the negative or slide and crop it manually afterwards. Or I would print it myself on my photo printer. But I can't see why it should be a problem for a photoshop to print pictures in a non-standard format. My guess is that they would print them on a standard format, leaving edges, and cut off the edges afterwards.

I hope it becomes so.

Originally posted by RagnorakThe options are endless. Nordlys already mentioned a few. If you're inclined to trudge into the adventure of a non-standard print size, and the acquiring of odd-sized frames is not too daunting, I would suggest a good quality photo printer. I've got an Epson Stylus Photo 1280, and it produces up to 13 x 19 photos at the highest quality (in fact, I got it after I found out that was what they were using at the shop we took my slides to) - cost about $400 a few years ago.

Or you can try to crop your photos to fit standard frames - you might lose something in the process, but it's cheaper and easier....

Ditto always working on improvement.... this is the sunset of South Waikato pic with correct foreground flip and no other effects... much better.

Epsom produce industry prefered inkjets but canon bubblejets produce excellent photo quality for amateur use at a fraction of the cost. Running costs are much cheaper with individual colour bladders and much cheaper print heads. I used to work for a PC leasing company and out service agents who did all brands always rec'd the canon except at top level where ultimate quality reproduction was required.
Buy a cheap guillotine, plenty of photo paper on special some frames and some matts of different texture and colours... instant gallery fun for all.

Hi Rag
In deciding one shot to send I need to get an opinion.
Moving water indicates that the water must be the theme.
ie the photographers rendition of a water moving naturally or being moved.
White water rafting and canoeing shots, surfing, parasurfing etc should figure in say a later water sport catagory.
The winner of a recent local newspap ...[text shortened]... rl in the water than the water itself.
Would be a good time to drop this in for comment.
