"Judicious cropping can strengthen a picture, but awkward cropping can be distracting," (London 322). This is a fact in photography. How you choose to frame a subject can easily the whole substance of your image.
Notice how impact of the image changes through how it is framed. The first image gives more of a movie type feeling. A wider frame. Whilst the second image gives a sense of more intimacy. You have a clearer view of the models faces and expressions and it gives more feeling than the first image.
Simply cropping out unnecessary space is a simple way to improve the strength of an image.
Have you noticed changes when you've cropped a photo?

This post felt a bit shorter than most. It did explain the effects of cropping but I believe that it could have used some more detail or information.
