Critique 3 Images, which style to post?_

[MythicalSnapshots]

Hey guys could I get an opinion or two, in order to post my image to instagram it has to be made to fit their sizing, which option would you choose the original image cropped and scaled to fit instagram size, or one of the other two options border or borderless?


I would really appreciate some help from photographers such as yourselves

It doesn’t have to be square.

The "image in image" thing is a bit cheesy if you ask me. Stick with #1.

But what do I know....

Sorry I misunderstood it doesn't have to be square but my images are usually bigger then what it will allow em to post so it crops them hence having to use an external app

Use your processing software to re-size your images to a max of 1080 pixels wide OR a max of 1350 pixels high:

When you share a photo that has a width between 320 and 1080 pixels, we keep that photo at its original resolution as long as the photo's aspect ratio is between 1.91:1 and 4:5 (a height between 566 and 1350 pixels with a width of 1080 pixels)

That should allow the image to retain its original aspect ratio.
