Cropping And Framing

I'm starting a new series of articles for Outback Print on cropping and framing. The image above is one in which I discuss cropping. Shot last Fall on Hornby Island off Vancouver Island. It's one of a series of images for stitching but I decided the other night that just this part of the image worked really well, possibly better than the full stitch. Sometimes when I shoot for stitching, I end up with weak ends - no real edge for the image. This was one of those series, but this one image was close to perfect, with a little cropping (but don't tell anyone).
