This week we are sharing some of our before/after photos to show how a crop can change the look. I almost always do a little cropping for compositional purposes. Here are 3 examples from photos taken this year.
Mrs. Mallard Duck – she was pretty far away from me in the original and I thought the shoreline was distracting. I wanted to bring her in closer because I loved the light on her feathers and the color of her eyes.


In this next photo, I turned a portrait into a landscape photo with the crop.


I did a major crop on this last photo because I wanted the rose buds to have all the attention.


So….. do you like the befores or afters???
