For this thread, post two different versions of the same photo, but cropped differently. Feel free to explain which one you like better, what you were thinking when you did the crop, etc.
And hopefully folks will chime in with thoughts on what works. And what doesn't.
I often wonder if the way I framed a photo was sufficient to capture everything I wanted to capture, or perhaps too much, or perhaps not enough. While processing the photos, I see different elements on a photo that may peak my interest, but which sometimes, I didn't even notice when I first took the photo. It makes me wonder, what crop works better and what does not work. Should I crop here or there? Should I highlight this or that?
#1 - This photo was previously posted on the strawberry farm thread. I cropped it pretty tight because I wanted to highlight the interaction between the woman and the boy, and also show the woman's facial expression.
#2 - This photo was also cropped, but it gives the viewer a better idea of the environment. I personally like the close up better.
ps: I'm not sure if there's already a thread similar to this. If there is, my apologies to the mods. Feel free to consolidate!
pps: I'm so proud of myself. I started a thread and didn't even mention anything about gear!! Maybe my GAS is cured ...
