These images are an assortment of different crops of my Live Oak Allee
image. I was going to ask for preferences. But that was before my wife
discovered what the aspect ratio looks like of a 2x5 foot print. She it
totally aspect ratio challenged. Doesn't understand it, can't visualize it.
I'd been telling her for a couple of weeks that I was going to build a
large panorama from the many images I'd taken at Live Oak Allee. Turns
out she really had no idea that a panoramic photo is very wide but not
very high. She freaked out when she realized that a 2x5 foot photo
really is very wide and doesn't look anything like the 24x36" print
that's already there. She was also insisting the any "proper" picture
must have a frame and be covered with glass.
We've just returned from the bone doctor's office where one of the docs
is an avid photographer and his work is displayed all over the office
area. <http://www.mikolnaturephotos.com/#!/index> I showed her that not
one of the photos on display has a frame (they're all mounted on
aluminum plates) and certainly no glass. I think I've won on the frame
and glass but still have to do work on a proper pano.
She's agreed that the 48x30 is OK... looks more like a normal photo to
her because it *not* a pano. I don't much care for the 48x30 since it
has too much sky. But that may be where I have to go if I'm going to
hang it in the dining room. Thoughts? Don't worry, I won't tell her
what *you* said. :-)
This is my favorite from Mikol.

It's the "Angel Oak" on John's Island near Charlie's territory. I've
never seen it other than in photos. I'll have to go shoot it one of
these days. It's hanging on the wall in the bone doc's offices. It's
printed about 7-8 feet wide and maybe 5 feet high. It's done in several
pieces arranged such the the breaks between the pieces make it look like
you're viewing it through a window with large panes of glass... a clever
way to reduce the cost of such a large print.
