Welcome, it's great that youre so enthusiastic about photography! Nice to have you on NWP.

Cropping is as important as the capture, and it is like anything else, if you want to get better, you have to practice. I like tight, almost all my stuff is tight, but that said, I crop tight for a specific reason, I don’t cut into a shot just to make it tight, with the crop, you’re trying to bring attention to specific details, or allow very prominent one's to just splash the image thereby allowing the viewer to use their imagination. Or, you crop tight to help tell the story. Even tight crops can be lose if not cropped correctly . . .

I know I would like for you to post one or two shots at a time. It will help you much more if we can target one shot at a time. So, post one or two and well try it again. . .
