Very RARELY, and I mean very rarely, do I feel the need to crop my images. IF composed WELL, no need. Just wish I could show people the 'original' image as it were. People ASSUME because its a close up/macro, whatever, I have cropped it to become 'closer up'. Not at all. A compliment? I can understand those that do. Shoot at a large size, and crop the 'good' bit. BUT, as I said, if its framed well, no need. You can tell when an image is cropped just by looking at the resize ratios..!! Any other thoughts on this topic?
