I find with digital cameras that after-"development" cropping is often necessary. Quite often I take pictures without being able to see in the display (with too much glare or bright conditions) and so I take the image a bit wider in framing it up so that I can be more considerate of the composition later when I see it on my computer screen. When I use the full power of my available optical zoom to get to a nugget of something I have seen in the distance, all the rest of this latter kind of image is dross. I'm so glad that you mentioned negative space. It's critical to get negative and positive space in balance. Lots of people aren't even aware of what it is. Thoughtful post, Thanks K Nice soap box rant, alittlenews.
