Hi Bob, You must have missed that in "Being a Photographer 101! Chapter 1, page 2 para 4, EDITING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS!" ;-) When Ted observed: > And I bet you screwed around for some time trying to crop this to bring the > girls out more as I explained from looking at your cropped image. >>>>He won the bet. Oh well, as I said in an early post in this thread, 'Practice Practice Practice'.<<<<<<< And that's what it's all about. Shooting, shooting and more shooting! As Kyle Cassidy says.. "Keep punching the button it'll come unstuck!" >>>>At least it is a lot cheaper to practice using digital<<<<<<<<< But that's the great bonus of shooting digital..... "YOU LEARN BY DOING!!" It doesn't cost a gazillion dollars for film and processing which can be quite a deterrent for many weekend warriors. Sometimes pros. But there isn't any question we as photographers are our own worst editing enemies. Of course we have the dumb ass "so perfects" that believe no one else can edit their work as well as they can.... They are always wrong! It's surprising how fresh non involved at the time of exposure editors see things that make one look bloody marvelous, that the shooter missed for any number of reasons! New eyes, new selections! Rarely fails! Better photographic moments are found! >>Which is how I produced the two following versions of the (slightly cropped) full frame image: http://www.bobbaron.com/DC_Oct07/W_L1004200Edit4FF.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/25slqj http://www.bobbaron.com/DC_Oct07/W_L1004200Edit4FFD100.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/yp5d5k which can be compared with my original crop: http://www.bobbaron.com/DC_Oct07/W_L1004200KidsLine.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/279kjc <http://tinyurl.com/279kjc%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c> <<<<<<<< Good tries but my gut still rides with the full frame. :-) ted
