Cee’s current Compose Yourself assignment is Cropping. Four photos are shown in before and after cropping state.
Chosen as one of Cee’s featured bloggers for this assignment
Cropping is my friend, sometimes being the only edit I do to a photo. Often I am unsure where and what to crop. Most times I like discovering what unnoticed details emerge on the cropped photo.
My niece’s beautiful hands, the cropped version showing the detail of her nail polish.
When a photo is cropped a lot more about the scene becomes apparent. I took this photo because I liked the contrast of the 2 ladies dressed traditionally eating an ice-cream cone. When I took the photo I thought that they were young women. The cropped version shows that they are older than I thought.
A different photograph emerges with cropping.
A gently weathered home in the Drakensberg Mountains. I prefer the composition of the original photo.

Thank you so much Cee! Very chuffed, it’s a real honour 🙂
It does make such a difference; this is such a great learning exercise for me.
It’s amazing how the photos change with cropping. I certainly learnt a lot with this exercise.
Great job of cropping for this week’s challenge. Thanks so much for playing along. 😀
