Thanks! I forgot to mention that I cleaned up the dark triangle in the
upper righ of one and the dark line along the right edge of the other.
Little things like that can make a big difference, not so much because
the flaws are big, but because they distract the eye.

Standard print sizes work fine for a lot of images. But for a lot of
others, there seems to be a natural cropping that fits the image and
doesn't come close to a standard size.
I've been thinking about printing up more of my favorite images, framing
and hanging them. But forcing them into standard sizes really detracts
from many of them, to my eye. I have no interest in learning to cut mats
and frame them, but having it done is quite an expense. Frustrating.

Thanks, I actually would crop the vertical one quite a bit myself and
the horizontal one a bit, but it's a matter of taste.

That's all I'm really trying to do, open up possibilities.

Glad you enjoy them!
