Compositional trick #5 Cropping

Cropping is a trick that photographers do all the time, even if they don't realize it. Every time a photographer chooses to cut something out of his/her frame, before they snap the photo, that is in essence cropping. We also have learned tools on Photoshop that allow us to crop an image after we have taken it. When cropping in Photoshop it is possible to improve our composition or change it completely.
The way i changed this picture from my original is that i cut out a little bit of the picture and used a text tool and put my name at the bottom of it. The one i like the best is the one i cropped. The reason why is because it adds more color then it already had and it makes it look more better and professional.
