The original photo is of a bungee jumper over the water in Qatar and he is the focal point of the image along with the long rope above him that contrasts plainly with the open sky of the top half of the original. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second image, he is transformed into a giant skydiver who finds himself hurtling down towards the city below him, about to destroy it. By cropping out the rope and removing the top half of the image, the image lacks context and while, of course, no one would read this new image as a giant skydiver, it shows the way cropping and framing are important to give context for the photos you take, especially about who the subjects are and what they are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Bungee Jumping at the Peal Qatar&#8221; by\u00a0SJByles\u00a0is licensed under\u00a0CC BY-SA 2.0. &#8220;Innocent Skydiver Accidentally Destroys Downtown&#8221; by Aedan Bennett is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.
