Reframe a portrait to a 4:5 Instagram crop without distortion

№ 105

№ The prompt

Recompose this portrait to a 4:5 vertical Instagram crop with balanced headroom and the subject well placed. Where the frame needs more room, extend the surrounding background plausibly to fill it — do not stretch or squeeze the image to fit. Keep the subject's proportions exactly correct; only the framing and aspect ratio change.

    Stretching or squeezing the subject to fit, or cropping off important parts of the head.
