There is a lot to look at in this photo [should you be foolish enough to choose to(!)] - I think I counted nine layers of 'stuff'. But it's a small portion of a much wider image, with a lot more going on in it. I often shoot wide, knowing that I will be cropping later, sometimes massively so.
Am I a sinner?
A couple of people have pretty much told me so.
I've said in reply (...and always with a smile) that that's a load of loblocks, because I knew what I wanted to extract from the image when I hit the button.
