I often do the same thing. I think we have a tendency to look at the most interesting part of a scene and shoot. It looks great until we get home and realize we did something dumb - like cut off part of the subject.

I have done that many times. But the more shots I take, the more I remember to analyze all corners and the top and bottom of the frame - not just what happens to be catching my eye at the moment.

I did a similar thing with my daughter's photos a few days ago. The first shots, I thought were great, but then later I realized I cut off her feet. Luckily, I took a ton of shots and got her whole body in the rest.
