The leaf on the left side of the original image is larger than the cacao pods, perhaps causing the viewer to question the subject of the image. Is the image a look at the tree as a whole, or at the interesting leaf shapes, or the cacao pods? When I took this image, I took it with the cacao pods as the intended subject. There is also a slight glare from the sun in the top left corner of the original image; the glare obscures the leftmost cacao pod somewhat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cropped this image to draw viewers&#8217; attention to the cacao pod, rather than the tree as a whole. Cutting out the large leaf, as well as the glare, improved the clarity of the image. This improved its quality. I used the rule of thirds, placing the subject of the image in the right third and the lower third to improve its artistry and aesthetic. I cut out unnecessary pieces of the image, including the distracting large leaf. The crop changed the meaning of the image from being about the tree as a whole to being about the cacao pod. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original image suffered from a couple of problems, though those issues may not be seen as such in all contexts.
