Tell ya what...if that shot goes on the masthead, Doug gets a free entry to a Continuing Adult Education course entitled "Cropping the Impossible", and you get the A2A.

I know what you mean - but then, many of the shots I've seen over the years at NZFF have looked pretty hard to crop to me. So much so, that I often think people are voting more on "the screenshot" than on "the masthead" it may (or may not produce). I used to pre-crop mine to a fairly narrow letter-box format - and haven't won since (or even come close

).

I think if we're voting for *a masthead* then the rules ought to stipulate that the aspect ratio of the shot should be around 4:1 (Marty's above is 1021 x 240). However - if we're just voting on a *screenshot* then, as you say, Doug may need to get "creative"

. I'm usually pretty impressed by the transformation of screenshot to masthead.

Well done Doug, who'd have thought...seems banner-cropping is an artform in its own right!
