Hmmm this is a touphie. And as had ben said to me the crop the tops of of photos profesionally all the time! If you want to emphasize the dreaded house in the middle nowhere. How about keeping the top space and instead cropping the tree in the far left off. That will make the house appear taller and more alone. If you want to emphasize how tall it is you could remove BOTH roofs. By the was what was your subject. Not to appear too stupid but I thought the idea of the cropping is to enhance the viewers attention to the subject and to enhance picture artistically. Personally I always try to put the picture in the center of the frame and I've been told that is a serious no no. However I hear the voices all the time! They tell me to call (976) type phone numbers to! Does anyone else have that problem? Bsteph
