I was hoping you'd do it that way. Good idea on adding the burn around the edge. I love the burn because it's so useful sometimes. Good info!! I love how you cropped the last photo.

Shelle you have a natural talent for finding a focal point. Your photos are great! I totally agree with getting the best SOOC image you can.

I've been better about setting up my shot so I can just edit the SOOC without cropping... BUT... Now that I want to focus on a focal point...I bet I'll be back to cropping a lot more! Thanks for the lesson Jessica! :) I like to crop also….

Most of the pics I post end up getting cropped a bit. My main rule is to stick to "traditional" aspect ratios like 8x10 in case anyone wants to print the picture out. Oh yeah, I’m a cropping fanatic.

You are absolutely right. I need to remember to do that. I don't go in that direction very often mostly because I don't remember to. Maybe I need to tie a string around my finger so I will remember.

Can I add that also turning a photo to black and white or sepia can sometimes tone down the distractions as well? The one of Charlotte would be adorable in black and white too. Great photos!
