This was simple, to the point, and the accent kept me around to the end. Thank you!!

I like the uncropped railway station shot much better than the cropped one. Lot more interesting, telling more of a story.

Thanks Robert, a very useful reminder of the reason why we crop. I think your disclaimer at the end was the most powerful thanks again

Thanks Robert - totally agree with trying to get it as right as possible in camera :) Thereafter its minimal adjustments required - thanks for the 'O' key tip too - didn't know about that ! Have a great weekend too :)

But what about printing? You say don't worry about standard sizes, but most professional print stores only print at standard sizes. And then there is the framing, if it's not a standard size you need to pay extra to get it framed. Any thoughts? Thanks.

This is where I go wrong. I don’t crop and end up with unwanted content and lose the main focus of the image.

Should've made 6 fingers on one hand for a thumbnail :D

I disagree so much with the train station photograph! The platform guy looking out the platform and the train is the second most interesting thing happening in the picture! The woman on the right is so distracting to me
