Wayne:
Well, this is what I did with this one:
http://www.telusplanet.net/~garth/wayne01.jpg
There's nothing fancy, just a crop. I didn't care about "proper
ratio." I rather like the ratio I've imposed on this picture with
this crop -- it makes the occupation of plowing the land look
"dangerous," with a vertiginous drop off to the lower left. If it
genuinely makes the viewer feel that working the land in Bolivia is
fraught with peril, then if this was my picture, I'd feel that I did
what I wanted to. To me, the bulls look like they're struggling to
get away from a drop that's perilous.
Haven't really thought about the other two pics yet. Don't know if
I'll be able to do anything with them that would make *me* feel good,
much less *you*. ;-)
