Composition is good, everyone is smiling, the background has been nicely blurred. Everything looks pretty good, right?
Well, you’re right. In fact, it’s such a good picture that let’s say the family wants to hang a nice big 14 x 11 print on their wall.Three 14 x 11 rectangular grids have been superimposed on this photograph to show what the final 14 x 11 cropped image would look like. The red rectangle cuts off 1/2 of the boy; while the blue rectangle does the same to his sister on the left. The yellow rectangle is an attempt to make the best of a bad situation by only cutting off a small bit of both the boy and girl. The originally cropped image (first sample shown) is a terrific crop, but will require a custom mat and/or frame. On the other hand, if this image can be cropped to an 11 x 14 size (that’s a STANDARD SIZE PICTURE), you will pay substantially less on framing charges. Remember to include about 20% of “excess” when framing a photograph like this. That will avoid very expensive framing costs (which are more than the cost of this ebook)!
