Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge: "family portrait"

One trick I have started to put in use is to squeeze the image into square. The default aspect ratio on cameras is usually either 3:4 or 2:3. But square images often would look better. Instead of cropping and giving up on original composition, one can change the aspect ratio to square, and also make the "actors" look thinner (or fatter, if the original is a vertical image).

An inspiration to do this was very practical. On Instagram portrait images where the aspect ratio is any "taller" than 4:5 would become cropped vertically. So, I came up with an idea to squeeze the images from 3:4 to 4:5, and then started to do the squeezing just for fun.
