No matter what time of day I walked past the river, there were always architecture boat tours taking place. The original photo captures many aspects of the city, including the river, buildings, boat tours, and the setting sun. In the cropped version, I chose to emphasize one of the boat tours. Cropping the photo shifts the narrative from a general city landscape to a personal city experience by focusing on the line of people waiting to board. Details, like the flowers on the boat and people taking a stroll, become more focal and tell a more individual story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunset on the water in Chicago, 2025, by Alih Rosa, licensed under CC BY 4.0 Waiting In line for the boat ride, 2025 by Alih Rosa, licensed under CC BY 4.0 I took this photo during a trip to Chicago&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":201,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,2],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-9736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spring-2026","category-student","tag-ml3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/201"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9736"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9908,"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9736\/revisions\/9908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
