LA 4 - Cropping an Image

Before, with crooked horizon

I took the shot on the left in Bol, Croatia on a trip to Europe in 2009. It's a subtle change between the two so I thought I should explain: I didn't notice at the time that the horizon was quite off kilter. I had been trawling through my Flickr account for images to crop and noticed it then. I had previously watched an episode of Adobe TV where the Rotate View tool was used to help correct a crooked horizon and applied the process here. Although the aspect ratio of the shot is a little different it's an improvement.

The cropped version: with the help of the Rotate View tool.

Hobart from Mt Wellington, but this picture is mostly trees.

And now Hobart is framed by trees but is more a feature of the photo.

Jenny is surrounded by a lot of space

Changing the orientation of the picture by cropping out all that space on either side

Not a strong shot with  all those distracting people in the background

A vast improvement, with space for the man to ride into on the left
