compostional trick #5: CROP

Cropping is a trick that photographers do all the time, even if they don't realize it. Every time a photographer chooses to cut something out of his/her frame, before they snap the photo, that is in essence cropping. We also have learned tools on Photoshop that allow us to crop an image after we have taken it. When cropping in Photoshop it is possible to improve our composition or change it completely.
I changed the composition from my original photo to this one by using marching ants and cropping out all the extra space in the photo. I like this picture better because it doesn't have a lot of extra space and it captures exactly what I wanted from the photo. i used marching ants to remove the unwanted part of the picture and then i used the type tool to add the text.
