Well I think your new Digital Photography Phrase should be in the Next Photography book out, Croposition. Yes Sir! It's one of the things I love about digitl photography. Years after you take a photo, one day you look at it in a new light and bang, you see something all together different and when you crop it, it comes alive.
I call it Selective Cropping (not my Phrase) but it's a valuable tool and is not cheating at all.
I still believe that composition is extremely important and no amount of cropping can really save a Poorly composed shot. Well I guess that's up for debate.
Here's one where Cropositon or Selective Cropping was done well after the picture was taken.
