B&W Challenge No. 43 - Square Format

Not a fan of centering - which a square format seems to cry out for. I usually avoid it.

Tend to agree with animal and general scenery photos. It depends on the subject and overall photo. Macros can work okay if tight and square...depends. This is not centered ... but could be. 

Not sure about this one - it is square and black & white!?

As noted, would not normally go to a square format for scenery. 

Clive, as someone who likes to photograph panoramic landscapes, I can see where you might not be comfortable with this format. That being said, I think the image you shared works very well! It emphasizes the shape and texture of the falls and immerses the viewer into the scene. I appreciate your willingness to explore something different. I hope you'll continue to see how using a square format might be used in landscape photography. Be sure to check out the links above. Most importantly do you like your picture?

Mark, to be honest, on first look I wasn't sure if the crop worked. However, coming back to it what I do think works, is how the square emphasizes the diagonal formed by the long necks of the giraffes as they eat the leaves.

As I've said before in the B/W Challenge. I welcome an exchange of ideas and the sharing of information. We all benefit from respectful dialogue.

Tony, that symmetry totally works.
mrkrnbrd ... that works as well. I did a quick screen snip and think you might be able to crop from upper right down toward the giraffes' shoulders.
