My daughter performed in her school's spring concert yesterday, and, of course, I took my camera. I was very excited, because I scored some front row seats for myself and my wife.

Unfortunately, I failed to consider the unfortunate conflation of tall music stands with short musicians - leading me into another experiment with cropping my photos:  Best seats in the house? 

Later, when we went out to celebrate at the local ice cream place, I discovered that the subjects of your photos ALSO have a say in how your photos are cropped: No pictures please!  

But, it wasn't all bad news - I discovered that future of photography is in good hands: Budding Photographer

    I like the idea of the crop in 'best seats' but something doesn't work.  And I'm not entirely sure what it is.  And I agree, that budding photogapher is cute.  I'm glad to know that the future of photography is in good hands.

    The shot of "seats" sure conveys the thought! I think what is missing is space over the music stands. I know what you are doing with this photo and if you cut above the stands there would be more confusion; tops of heads, other persons in back, etc. I wonder if you could paste a white border over the top of the stands. That might give it the little extra.

    The future of photography is alive and cute! 

    - So shoot already!!

    It's an interesting idea, old guy. I do plan on experimenting with different croppings to see which is most pleasing. We'll have to see how it goes.
