What now? We did the obvious thing and cropped to a vertical, but—oops!—we ended up with the horizon line plunk in the middle of the frame, which more often than not makes a picture very static. We needed more sky! So we cropped the bottom off, then cut-and-pasted more sky on top, smoothing it out with cloning. We vignetted the edges slightly to strengthen the center of the picture (and we don’t mind the vaguely Olde Tyme Look it gives, either).
