jack2964 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have read the rule of 3rds but for this particular frame I can't figure out how I should crop it. The first pic is the uncropped original and 2nd is my attempt at it which just doesn't look right. Tips appreciated and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yes, rule of thirds but the head looks crowded against the top to me. Also, the bird is long so it's hard to leave room for it to breath. It should be back a little. Let me see what I can do, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Here's one different look. I put the bird about a third of the way in from the left and about a third of the way up from the bottom, roughly. Very, very nice pic and I like the shallow depth of field and exposure.

angiud Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 For my butterflies I leave some more space up and in front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks better, with more headroom and forward space. In hindsight I should have recomposed after focusing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill3173 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Here's another take of it. Tried to use the rule of thirds, but also the use of vacant space. That meaning, keeping vacant where ever the subject is looking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
