Yeah....agree with you. - The best thing is too take more time to shot you photo. So...the picture will be composed very well and you will not need to crop the pictures. - Taking a large size shot an crop the rest it's not a bad idea at all. We are lucky with digital photography. We can take millions of shot and then crop them...delete them.... -Just come back a couple of years ago...with only 35 mm camera with film. Crop was impossible. So....you had to take the time to shot your photo....compose it .... to have the result you want. -Maybe everything came with the digital photography. -benoit-
