I darkened the corners and sides Then I cropped by about 22 percent but into a perfect square. Unsharped it. I think it looked a lot better.. Black and white gives you the advantage of being able to jack up contrast to bring out detail. EW's 8x10 Kodachrome which I saw last year in the Portland EW show were boooring. Black and white gives a big advantage for many a subject matter. There should be a sign on the perimeter of EW Beach. "Black and white only". Just like the sign outside Hollywood "Blonds only".
