Gorgeous, you certainly like to crop your photos to a square shape.
Whys that?

Because I cannot crop to circle.
There are several reasons. One is that all other aspect ratios are unbalanced by definition, they look like something cropped out of square. We use those aspect ratios mostly because of historical reasons that no longer apply.
Historically, drawings were made on papers designed for printing where elongated shape made sense; you cannot read wide columns easily, but long ones are OK. Plus, paper was expensive; it made sense to match the aspect ratio to the typical subjects: landscape and portraits.
This preference was carried to film and photographic paper, and reinforced in the commercial photography by the fact that elongated aspect ratios are easier to layout for printing magazines and books.
Paintings were designed to be viewed at a distance where the canvas filled most of the field of vision. The aspect ratio was not very important because you were not really aware of it. Additionally, starting from 19th century, 90% of the painters used standardized canvasses that were commercially produced.
Now we typically view the images on screens, and at sizes that do not quite fill the field of vision. If you go that close to your screen, the resolution sux. I think it is important to use an aspect ratio that is neutral, and doesn't draw attention to itself, just like it is important to view images against a neutral background and not the ghastly green of dA.
