Digital BW, The Print

I strongly agree with Joost.  Even with trying to think about in- 
camera framing, I've found that almost invariably, my images are  
improved with post cropping.  I almost always finalize the image in  
whatever aspect ration this crop demands, then balance out with  
matting.   But I'll also matt and frame to nonstandard sizes when it  
best supports the look of the final package.
