You captured the ideas of this lesson ...GREAT post. You captured the ideas of this lesson perfectly. One thing to add (if I may?) - something I've learned from countless scrapbooking magazines - we should be sure not to zoom in and crop so much that we loose the context of the photo. Yes, get rid of distracting clutter, but don't zoom so tight that any reference as to what your child is actually doing is lost. You demonstrated this idea perfectly with the last set of shots where the glue and the paintbrush and everything was still there - especially when you moved around Sugar and looked over her shoulder. You have a nice tight crop without losing context. (And with the sleeping photos, no real context is necessary, so zoom away... as you did.)<BR/><BR/>Perfect! Excellent tutorial!!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340061182737906221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817728686717244104.post-24628901715129025092008-01-29T11:33:00.000-08:002008-01-29T11:33:00.000-08:00How did I miss this Cor?
