Exercise: Cropping

I have selected three of my images, first showing the original picture, and then the final cropped image.

This is a very good tool to perfect your final image but it mustn't prevent you from trying to get the best  shot through the view finder when you first take the photograph.

My first is a wedding picture, which when I looked at it originally, wasn't too pleased with.  But then the more I looked, the more I could see other images. I took two other images from this shot, ending with three which I thought were much better.  This is unusual to get three images and I cant say has happened to me before.








The second shot for cropping was one that I took at Kings Cross, it is of the statue, and it just shows a subtle cropping which really just tidies up your photo.  There is hardly any difference in the two but makes a better final image.  It cuts out any excess space above their heads and below the statue base.





The third picture I have selected is one that I took for the telephoto exercise.  This time instead of using the lens to zoom in I have cropped the image, giving similar results.
