I don't want to offend anyone .. you at least Snakey and i gladly admit, sometimes a cropped thumb is more than ok. I also don't want to say all cropped ones are deceiving .. but sometimes this is the case. Anyways .. all this is already said but (and that's the reason for my lenghty intro into that posting) i want to put my sign to that first sentence from rickymaveety. It's an error most new into photography make (me no less than all others!) ... putting to much into an image. In that case, cropping the whole image and learning from having to do so is a great exercise .. and a lot better than just cropping the thumbs and trying to get two out of one. Cropping is no way to get another point of view .. moving the tripod is .. ;) Sorry, i really do not want to offend anyone but i feel some wise words have been spoken here. Thank you rickymaveety! Need that reminder more than once myself!
