What a peaceful picture! :-) Oh hehehehe. he Trust me, this one's cropped the limit. I need some kind of telescope to get shots of ducks that are a mere 30 or 40 feet from me it seems. My lens is a virtual (35mm) 640mm on the 10D, it ain't enough. Now you want more cropped? And I've totally rationalized in my head as an absolute rule, plenty of space around subjects is an important part of an image. Especially water reflections :-) Now, funny you should mention cropping this photo tight. Cause I went out and had a 10 by 15" Frontier photo made of this one last week. Immediately my thoughts were that it needed cropping and was thinking to cut it and mount it in a smaller frame. I just with the Frontier could print bigger than 10 inches wide.
