Maybe a horizon straightening too. My flickr photostream

You have all those beautiful lines running horizontally, why cut them?

The rays are gorgeous though.A 9x16 crop would be sweet. you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

The reason being, it shows more depth to the entire landscape. Also, the darker bottom and top of the photo contrasts the middle lighter area rather nicely, and makes the sunnier areas "pop". 60D | Canon 70-200L 4.0 | Canon 17-40L 4.0 | Canon 60 2.8 | Canon 85 1.8 | Sigma 30 1.4| Tokina Fisheye 10-17 3.5-4.5 | Walimax Pro 500 | Tamron 1.4x | Various other bits |
