Naww, I'm not. As I mentioned before, I do enjoy the challenge of 
composing in the viewfinder rather than in the darkroom (or computer), 
however.  I'll consider cropping this one after ruminating over it for 
awhile :-) . Personally, I think the pier adds depth and anchors the 
shot.  Of course, I also tend to use the "framing" cliche wa-a-a-y too 
much in scenics. 

My real joy is "square shooting" with my old Rollei SL66.  We tend to 
view the world horizontally -- using the horizon as our reference -- but 
in reality our peripheral vision is in the vertical plane, too. In that 
sense, a square format composition is more realistic.  Anyway, it's fun 
to play with.

Thanks for the comments.
