I found a PictureCD with some of my shots while looking for some stuff and
decided to play around with two of 'em.
which of them is stronger compositionally do you think? all opinions are
welcome of course, including crops other than indicated. I've compressed them
so you can download quicker, but they are full 1024*
1536 pixel scans with only slight curves adjusted.
Option 1:

what i like is the smooth focus transition (prime focus on fellow with eyes
open), also entire "crew" is visible along with large portion of choir (doing
the star spangled banner, btw) what i DONT like,
can't see the flag except a tiny bit reflected in the helmet.
Option 2:
http://users2.ev1.net/~wesiddiquis/siddiq/13web.jpg
Two crops indicated: black border for standard aspect ratio, black+gray for a
squar-ish crop.
what i like about the black crop: the aspect ratio leaves space on the right
side of frame for viewer's eye, even tho there's nothing there. the flag is
much more viewable in all helmets. square crop is
another option (black + gray border outlined)... can't use fullframe, fuzz in
the bottom right :( and half the JROTC's faces are hidden. also appears to be
sharper of the two
sorry i couldn't fit an SUV in the picture, but there is a gun! whoowheee <g>
