Subtitled : What a difference a ‘crop’ can make.
The mosaic features the uncropped photos.
Do you ‘crop’?
Just a little crop and then maybe some sharpening and your photo can take on an altogether different look. So now, I’ll take all of the photos in the mosaic and crop them.
My hubby may like this one but I liked it better after it was cropped.
I could title it, Don’t bother me, I’m shell seeking!
And could you see this gyrocopter in the ‘uncropped’ sky
or the tortoise’s eye?
How about the dolphin in the water
or the pelicans flying low over the ocean?
Makes you want to go fishing, doesn’t it?
I’m joining Beautiful Sunday,
and Amaze me Monday!
Hope you’re weather has improved.
We're having a beautiful weekend.

Cropping "does" have its advantages, doesn't it? Nice work.
Very nice of you to share sunny skies and beach scenes in your mosaic.
I do crop, to get rid of background noise and to bring something in closer.

I do crop images some times, especially if I just want to focus on one particular thing.
Lovely beach scenes ... makes me want to walk in the sand and water.
Great pictures !!!...have a nice sunday....love from me...x !
I do crop photos for the same reasons you do.
So lovely to see the sun, waves and beaches as we are knee deep and higher in snow.
Makes me realize how little we actually see at first glance. Have a nice Sunday! xo
Lovely! It's like life, we might miss something beautifully small if we only look at the big picture.
These are a few of the blessings of living in California and Florida.So far away from eachother but yet We experience beautiful weather even in winter :) One of My favorite things to do is shell and pebble hunt along the coast.So fun and relaxing,isn't it? Hugs to You My friend-Denise
I always crop my photos, usually to tidy up the shot and take out distractions that lead your eye away from the main focus of the shot. So handy. Your beach photos are so intense with the blue sky ... and so warm!!!! Wendy x
HHMM-My first message to You disappeared,so I'm giving You another one :) If You have both-Sorry to repeat.I just really wanted to tell You That I love Shell and pebble hunting here along Our Calif.coast too.One of My many favorite activities to relax and have fun.Hugs-Denise
i'm a cropper. :)
Cropping really does make a difference. It can change the whole focus of the picture. I never heard of it before I started blogging. Amazing what I have learned here- xo Diana
My eyes are dazzled by the brilliance of the sun, and the ocean....sigh.

I do crop photos but still I need help! LOL! I've learned some things but not nearly enough. You take gorgeous pictures. Thank you for showing the comparison.
I crop photos all the time. You can just direct the focus of the eye when you do that. Love you beach photos!! hugs, Linda
Hi Miss Lavender Dreams,
Fishing? Yucky, but I sure could go for some of Dad's famous fresh, homemade crab cakes. We haven't found fresh lump crab here in the mountains yet, but we will.
Now I'm hungry!
Hugs,
Prudence ♥
It looks so sunny and warm there on the beach. Sigh…. I crop once in a while but mostly use the whole picture. Have a great week!
To crop or not to crop that is the question. Anyone who has visited my blog lately knows that I love a good cropping. =D Thanks for pointing out all those excellent reasons for doing so. I would have missed a lot. Glad that the weather is fine and that you're feeling well enough to enjoy it!
I play with my photos all the time ~ I find it fun and fascinating. Love your pics. Thanks for sharing the sunshine ~
Beautiful photos!
I LOVE the cropped version with the fishing rods. You are amazing. (Sorry I haven't dropped by for awhile. Life got in the way and I stopped visiting my favourite bloggers for a time.) Enjoy your Sunday in FL.
Your photos are lovely. Makes me want to go to the beach and bring along a picnic lunch. Yes I agree that cropping allows for the detail in a photo to shine.

I do a lot of cropping. Beautiful beach photos!
Cropping can make a whole new photo--I love to crop and find it a relaxing past time!
I usually crop and straighten too..I take alot of crooked photos! :)
Look at that nice warm weather...
Cropping can make an incredible difference in the feel a photo gives. It's pretty fun to play with cropping. I'm rather challenged when it comes to technical tasks but I've got cropping down pat!
Blessings & Happy New Year, Edie Marie
My favorite thing about blogging is taking, cropping, sharpening my photos. I LOVE it. :)
Looks like you're really learning a lot from this photo challenge. Cropping is a very useful tool that can certainly take an ordinary pic to extraordinary.
I'm envious of the beach that is so close to you!
I love to crop my photos. Oh...to be at the ocean. Lucky you!
My photography mentor gave me an assignment this week, to edit a photo and make 4 crops from the one. Interesting exercise. Have a lovely week. Jen
Beautiful pics, wish I was looking at that lovely blue water!
Hi Diane! I love your snaps and you're right, cropping is our friend! ;) Thanks for popping in to see me.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh, it looks warm there! I trim a few of my photos, usually after distortion control. But I don't do a tight crop very often. It makes sense to crop to make a composition more pleasing!
Amazing what you can see when you crop! Never noticed the dolphin, how cool is that! Hope you are feeling better Diane.
The sky, the surf - so beautiful!
I am only just beginning to learn about cropping.
You did a really nice job on the cropping. You have a good eye!
Lovely photos of the ocean, the tortoise and dolphin are cool. And I love the ocean waves! I do a lot of cropping and re-sizing. Wonderful photos, have a happy week!
Lovely photos - cropping does make all the difference doesn't it? It's nice to see some beautiful blue sky and sunshine for a change - you've brightened my day!
I'm the queen of cropping. Your pictures are gorgeous. Such a contrast from our piles of snow and ice.
Ahhhh, our beautiful playground. Thank you for sharing, friend. I rarely crop but it does come in handy for blogging at times.
Stopped by to say hello and to see what books you're up to these days. I joined a local group for film and book lovers. You know I'm more the film type, but could sure use a good book these days.
Off to catch up with your posts.
xoxo's
Just beautiful! I am already wishing for spring and it is only January. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Linda
very nice photos Diane!
Oh, your photos are gorgeous, cropped or not! I'm just jealous of that beach :)
Susan
What sunny skies and glorious beaches! I do crop, makes such a delightful difference!
Happy New Year!
Jemma
You can miss a lot if you don't crop!
Great photos Diane!
Your photos looks wonderful. I just love the beach. And Yes I do LOVE to crop my photos.
Hugs~
Great photos...Yep. I'm a cropper!! I did not even see the dolphin. I am also great at crapping myself out of a picture!!
Carol
Great photos, sure wish I was on the beach! Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY...
Blessings,
Cindy
I would love to visit Florida someday. Then I could see you and my dear friend, Marcia. The sky is so blue and the waters are gorgeous. My kids love the beach and often visit ours in California.
Have a blessed weekend, Diane.
Love,

Hi namemate! Firs to all sorry for the super late comment and visit. Work has been crazy and my laziness is attacking me as well hahaha
You really have beautiful and priceless photos here. In the middle of all the workload I have here, it would really be nice to have a short vacay in the refreshing view of the beach.
Have a great Sunday!
