the power of cropping
Some photographers (I'm really going out on a limb here by putting myself in this group) believe you should let loose and take pictures freely and worry about editing later. Others think that your eye through the lens is what you're presenting to the world. I like to do a little of both. While I'm taking a shot I am highly aware of the whole scene. Sometimes this works perfect and no cropping is needed. Other times, not so much. Even if you like the original shot straight out of the camera you can create multiple objectives and change the whole feel of a picture just by cropping it. Here are some pictures I took at Mabry Mill that will demonstrate how various crops can make dramatic results in a final photo.

I hope this illustrates simply how plenty fun you can have with a unmarried image. Go mess around with a number of your snap shots and spot what you could give you!
