[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 664161, member: 11881"] I don't know if I'm answering this correctly, but I'm going to give it a shot as to where I think you're going. 1. I try to stay with 8x10 because 8x12 can be a framing nightmare. 2. The owl IS the subject. For this reason I want the owl to be 2/3 of the photo measured vertically. 3. Crop - I liked the weed coming up on the left and the rock in the lower right corner. You could either remove the weeds on the right or leave them. Unlike the photo of the owl on the post, I moved the eyes of the owl down to the third line because the bird is on the ground so I wanted some negative space above the bird. I had cropped the bird higher on the post image because I wanted the bird elevated as it was on a post and not on the ground. 4. Based on what I see on my monitor, because it is an illuminated screen, I bumped up the exposure by 0.14 so that the non-illuminated print will come in at about how I saw it on the screen prior to the exposure bump. I hope this helps and somewhere in all that I answered your question.
