Mr. Freud might be able to verbalize it better. Follow it. I'd love to participate in the cropping discussion - but I have different cropping priorities: like cropping the Section 8 housing from down the street, cropping out a large part of the right side of my taxes, cropping out the dings in the left rear door of my car, cropping bigotry out of local politics. In all seriousness, the cropping issue is one my father explained to me like this: it is insanely easy to crop the bad part out of a picture; it is insanely hard to take a crop-free picture in the first place. Burning and dodging is in the same class. My general idea is that if it can't be printed with approximately the right composition and approximately the right overall exposure by a minilab run by trained spider monkeys, you need to be more disciplined in the shooting!
