No cheating here, just good technique... Cropping can help you draw attention to the area that the photographer wants to be a main focal point, you are creating a piece of art... Rules are there to be broken, so if it looks like it works, then it does work... Great shot Hayward...

Hi Jennie - don't be afraid .. I'm just tickle you like my post and took the time to look and comment ... and for that, I thank you very much

Hello Angela - there are 3successive photos of these berries and the second one was the one I use... thank you so much for the nice comments

I wonder if the "dolphin" is after the berries.... Great shots hayward. Both are beautiful but the first is a great example of how a crop can improve things or point out your focal point.
