Snow - As with many things, to each his own. For pure aesthetics, I've never liked odd shaped croppings; circles, ovals, trapezoids, etc. Aside from that, most materials for display and storing of images are based on standard sizes; even the non-rectangular cuts. Move outside those sizes and you need to be prepared to custom build your displays. You can usually get away with standard sized frames with odd sized prints, but you'll need to cut your own mattes to do it. Not using mattes, then you'll be building your own frames to size. -=>Donald
