Silhouette of a fisherman on his pirogue at sunrise in Si Phan Don Laos
  • Agree the sun is not exactly centered. This is standard 3:2 ratio (ready to print), and I prefer not to cut either the sky or the bottom giving space to the boat. Also the margin at the right can be considered as lead room. But your remark is constructive. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:15, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the blue sky at the top helps the mood. A more landscape aspect (16:9 or even narrower) would be better, and I'd prefer the boat further to the left in the composition. Unlike landscape painters, we can't just paint the boat where we want it, though. -- Colin (talk) 12:21, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • After several attempts of framing, including a 16:9 ratio, I've decided to keep the 3:2 format, but removing the little islet of vegetation at the right, as suggested by Ikan. I think it improves a little bit the composition, and centers the sun slightly better. An alternative could be proposed but to be honest, I don't think these slight differences change so much here. Then, because there are currently more color shades in the sky when not cut, I keep this 3:2. Thanks for the reviews -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
