Let's go Cinematic

This is a great shot, and would have made a highly commended, but I was asking for a cinematic crop ratio of around 2 to 1, or twice as wide as it is high. If you cropped off a bit off the top and the bottom of this image, it would make it feel so much more like a scene from a movie

Thank you for entering my contest, and congratulations on this winning image! The figures give a fantastic sense of scale, while the crop makes it feel very cinematic! I love this photo :) For anyone else reading this, I didn't rate images that were square or portrait, no matter their content because I specified a wide crop in the description. There were many great photos that ended up unrated because of this. Rule number one of any contest - read the instructions!

Thank you for entering this image into my contest, and congratulations for making my top 10! This has a beautifully cinematic feel. The wide crop brings us right into the intense expression of the woman, and makes us feel we are right in the middle of the story. Brilliantly done!
