Closely Cropped (120 of 365)

ABG_Closely_Cropped[2009]

This is a statue of a friar (I think) and a bird. I shot a couple of pictures of the full statue, but wasn't really pleased with them. Once I moved in a bit closer and framed the shot a little differently I was happier.

I like your choice of crop, Kerri. It makes the photo all about the relationship between the bird and the man (St. Francis?) rather than the setting.

You made this image tell a story by cropping it down - funny how different parts of an image tell a different story - NICE!!!

Yep, a Top Crop! I think I have seen that pose used to depict St Francis of Assisi although I have never seen the piece you show.

I like the hint of the statue. Sometimes part is certainly better than the whole.

Magnificent crop! Didn't see it before, but I love it now! : )
