It’s amazing how much simply cropping a picture can change how it may be interpreted. In this example, while there isn’t anything inherently wrong with the original, cropping it to leave out some details and move the focal point changes its meaning. Although art never truly has only one meaning and it’s left up to the viewer to develop and interpret their own, between these two pictures, it is undeniable that they invoke different paths of thought. While the first one appears more distant and gives off an isolated feeling, my cropped version makes the subject feel closer and attempts to create a feeling that is a bit more grounded in the structure rather than the stretch of ground before it as in the first picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the original and derivative above tell stories and invoke emotions of their own. In my opinion, there is never only one way to portray a scene, and I don’t believe that one is more correct than the other. Cropping is important in how it alters how a viewer experiences an image; therefore, the one taking or cropping an image must keep in mind the focal point and subjects contained within as small changes can make the same image appear completely different even though they cover the same scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
