This was luck and not luck. Luck was baby jumping out of the grass whilst I was making pictures of mom. Not luck was getting one sharp shot in the 3/4 of a second I had before baby ran behind my car. 8 fps on the d700 with the battery grip, 6 shots in 3/4ths of a second, not a lot of reaction time. Especially when the one sharp shot didn’t have a composition I liked.
So? Square crop. I don’t like 4×5 crops; they feel old to me. But if I *am* going to crop, I’m going to do it in a manner that makes sense for print. Square it is.
