Weekly Photo Challenge: Perspective
Cropping can turn an ordinary photo into something much more interesting. The first photo is the one the result of a crop. It is intended to focus on the heads of the Zebras in the photo but more importantly form kind of an abstract photo of the patterns formed by the different zebras. I should state that I took this photo with this crop already in mind…..
The second photo is the original photo – nice zebras but not a very interesting composition. I always find it important to visualize the crops that you have available when taking a photo – then try to capitalize on them in the post processing. Hope you enjoy!
That works really well. Nicely done.

Good use of cropping. I’ve been discovering and playing with editing lately and it’s been so much fun.

Thanks Janet, editing is both very important and a lot of fun. There are endless variations that you can “play” with. I often go back months later and re-edit some photos with entirely different ideas. Have fun and experiment!

Thanks Ryan – I appreciate it. I was looking for the abstract of large groups of zebras together but only got a few that would work to highlight the interaction of the stripe patterns.

Scott, they’re the same photos in my email, although they’re not the same in the email I’m sending back to you!
Take care,

Bruce, I have no idea what happened! They weren’t the same when I posted it, then something happened and they were the same when I looked at it this morning…..
I went back and edited the post and made sure they were the correct shots again today. Thanks for the heads up!
