Digital BW, The Print

Agreed.  Croping and print size should be determined by asthetics, not by what some self involved gallery manager wants, or a 'standard' print size.  I always crop as close as possible in the camera.  But, if the image needs a different ratio, heed your instincts.

an increasingly diminishing part of these considerations in this era of easy enlargement- at what point does your image quality begin to look like crap?
Another issue too little considered- what viewing size best suites the viewing experience of the particular image? This needn't be as artsy-f**tsy of a question as it might seem. Many of my disturbingly busy images can't even be seen at less than 16x20. Caponigro's apple though, I love it at about 5x7 in some of the books I have.
