[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 27154, member: 1926"] Is there a rule about cropping? During the 4th of July fireworks show we had an incredible sunset and I was trying to get some bracketed shots which was difficult because people in the crowd were moving around too fast. I managed to get 3 exposures of this scene with this lady who looked very tired from pushing a baby stroller in the grass around the park. [ATTACH]4284._xfImport[/ATTACH] I was disappointed with all the motion blur and power lines and other visual clutter. While reveiewing the images in my camera I zoomed in on the photo and was amazed at the detail of her silhouette. You can see her eye lashes. I decided to see if I could crop the photo down to isolate her with out the back ground clutter and had to go to the smallest crop setting on my camera before cropping and saving. WoW! Did I take that is all I could think when I got home and viewed it on my computer. [ATTACH]4283._xfImport[/ATTACH] So is it considered proper to crop this small or did I bend some rule? [/QUOTE]
