Love the crops. I try to do this also. I think it’s creative to take it to another level. I need to get as good at my photoshop as you are! Also, I’d love to have a tutorial on how you did the eyes. Maybe you did, I may have missed it somewhere. I need to learn this! Thanks again!

love these pics. I LOVE to crop . sometimes it gets me in trouble when trying to make enlargements in different sizes. I lose inches i wished i had for my enlargemetn.
However I LOVE what u did.
Your subjects are beautiful too.

This is a fabulous article – also enjoyed your “do we need…” on your site. Refreshing and unique perspective. I will now also feel the need to mess with a perfectly good picture – thanks for expanding my obsession.

Thank you for this post! I’m constantly playing with cropping, but I’m usually afraid to take it all the way. These examples have boosted my confidence, and I’m going to try it out.

I do enhance the eyes sometimes if it adds to the photo. Often times eyes won’t photograph as one solid color so I’ll highlight the color that looks to be sparkling the best. If it’s edited for a family though and not just my own portfolio I make sure to do an edit in the natural color:)

Thank you for challenging me to look beyond my original composition! One question though – most of these kids look like they have blue eyes in the original picture but green eyes in the cropped ones? Did you do a lot of editing on the eyes?

I love this post. My absolute favorite thing to do is completely fill the frame with my boys’ face. Then I start feeling bad about posterity. I mean, my favorite part about looking at old pictures is checking out all the dated stuff in the background. I worry that my kids will think (maybe rightly so) that the whole world was them. It’s good to know others share my passion!

WOW!! These are STUNNING! I’m going to play with a few photos and crop them horizontally. Your composition is always wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
