    Forward March

    Spotted these new recruits being put through their paces, its a regular sight around here as the Army use the Brecon Beacons for training purposes.

    Like it but would have considered making it into a 16:9 shot and losing some of the hill - brings more emphasis to the walkers for me, but only a personal opinion.

    Thanks Kaye, I've just done this crop on my phone (I think I prefer it):

    Matt, I think there are two separate photos, in the first one - 'where are we going? in the second one it is very gritty.
    Cheers Ole

    Nicely scene and captured, Matt. Did you offer the lads a ride?

    Re: Forward March

    My first thoughts, Matt, were that the figures need to either be a little closer or further away, and your edit looks good to me.

    I suspect this is one of those scenes where there will be several options for variations.

    Nice idea and execution as always!

    My inclination would be to crop only at the bottom because leaving the horizon in the image indicates more about the sloping characteristic of the terrain.

    Nice one!
    I agree with Mike, to crop the bottom sounds better for me.

    Thanks Mike, I think I am leaning towards this last crop to.
