For this assignment I worked with an image of a brown hummingbird from Pexels, and I cropped it to enhance the composition and emphasize the details from the Hummingbird. The original image beautifully captured the bird, but I felt that the wide shot didn\u2019t do justice to the intricate beauty of the hummingbird in flight. The background elements were a bit distracting, and the bird seemed lost in the larger frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to crop the image to focus more closely on the hummingbird, eliminating the unnecessary background and highlighting the bird’s delicate wings and feathers. By applying the rule of thirds<\/strong>, I repositioned the hummingbird slightly off-center to create a more dynamic composition, it\u2019s as if the bird is flying to something, and that leaves room for imagination as to what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
