Keep it like it is, as either you rotate the picture and do a severe crop up to the dhoti, or you have to "invent" the boy's shadow (filling up with the beach part is easy)... A bit too much post processing for this picture !

You can always argue you wanted a slanted horizon for a dynamic effect :-)

Do they still have those "sawn together" fishing boats at Puri ? The one I see seems more modern !

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 8)

I also thought how to Photoshop it, artificially enlarging it, but did not arrive at any conclusion yet.

I don't know about boats you asking, some were simple, others with modern motors, I did not go further into village as beach behind these children was sadly turned into public toilet.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (none / 1)

The original Puri boat has the same shape then those but are made of three pieces of wood (trunks shaped) that are assembled with ropes before fishing and disassembled after to let the wood dry on the beach.
For a casual observer they appears as floating logs that were stranded on the beach :-)

Bubaneshwar and it's "chariot" temple is quite a sight :-)

I'll have to scan those slides one day, if I can find them...!!!

I learned how to surf on that beach :-)

Yes, I think leaving it as it is is safest: any combination of crops and rotates I can think of will lose something from it.
