This is NOT my image. It belongs to jude McConkey http://www.lostinfocus.org/?page_id=15
jude posted this on a blog and I thought it would make a good sample for what I call "cropping with light". Cropping with light attempts to focus the viewer's attention on the main subject of an image without physically cropping the image and thus removing the subject's supporting context. This is "after" and "before" can be seen by clicking "previous".
