Compositional Trick #5 - Cropping




















Cropping is a trick that photographers do all the time, even if they don't realize it. Every time a photographer chooses to cut something out of his/her frame, before they snap the photo, that is in essence cropping. We also have learned tools on Photoshop that allow us to crop an image after we have taken it. When cropping in Photoshop it is possible to improve our composition or change it completely.
The difference between my original leading lines and this one is that I cropped out some of the top, the right side and some off the bottom. Afterwards I added my name on the right side. I really enjoyed my cropped picture more because you can add a word/s to give your picture a little extra something.
