Hello All!

I am choosing between two crops of one photo: rectangular and square:

Any other constructive critique (including suggestions how this could be
done better) is very welcome.

Cool shots!

I think the square crop better emphasizes the symmetry and enhances the kinda trippy optical effect.

I'd be inclined to increase the contrast, though I'd probably try the trick of creating a contrasty b&w layer from a clone of the colour layer, then blend the colour and b&w layers using the Overlay layer mode.

Also, - what is the name of the visual effect (in Photoshop or other
image processing packages) that is similar to this image (running away lines, converging to the middle)?
I forgot: how is it usually done? Is the peripheral part motion-blurred?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but the Photoshop Radial Blur filter set to Zoom kinda does this to an image.
