That's a nice full frame shot, Eric.. But as there are so many good
elements in that photo I could also get several pleasant crops out of it
were I an editor and needed to have a photo in a certain aspect ratio...
I read Stan's comment as a bit of a toungue in cheek admonishment. He
has been travelling a lot lately and doubless has been in many
situations where
weather, geography,physical condition and having equipment at the ready
have all been challenging. I think we all shot framing as best we can
given other variables.. it is a fair question if you have perfect
elements and all are under your control.
When shooting slides for stock, needless to say, you have to have the
full frame (the full frame that is visible in a slide mount, that is..
it is never quite the
full frame unless you didnt have the slides mounted.) be "good". I
often shot several versions in the field and in the field duplicates too
as most of what
I felt would be good for stock was shot with several lenses at hand and
camera on tripod.
But the final crop as someone else already said is the print that you
show or the file that you show is what matters... better to shoot loose
and get the
action than zoom in in the field in chancy situations... with time to
spare I will often frame as I see a static scene ideally (for my taste)
and then widen the view just a tad...
thjat really is the great thing about digital versus film when your eyes
are failing.. you can adjust the edges afterward.

If there is something that interests you in an image, why didn't you frame that
element properly in the beginning?
Quick and dirty here for now, before I rush off to my 6:00 AM spin class. In my
Norfolk County/North Sea Coast walk in 2013 I had a *ist DS with a 28mm A lens. I
just looked at one of my albums. None of ‘em are cropped. One of my favorites, I was
crossing at street after completing the walk in Comer, looked up the street to my
left, thought it was a cool scene, raised the camera to my eye and took the shot
while still walking. This is the image:

More, in appreciation, later.
