Really neat assignment Aaron... noticed the honeysuckle patch-style photos right away! Building on the last composition video, noticing very strong/dominant line(s). (Favorite may have been a "baroque" line?) But they seem to be lines that would stem from or seemingly interact with an imaginary "rule of thirds" grid I'm overlaying as I'm seeing your photos.... Are you perhaps cropping to achieve this? I'm sure you're also framing for this when taking the shot... jus wondering how to achieve that and how you feel about cropping?
Also (lol), are the NYT editor(s) "seeing" this in the composition? If you wouldn't mind sharing some of the feedback during the progression of the assignment?
@@csnerd21 as for the cropping, I seldom crop photos and if I do it's very minimal. I try to crop while making the photo, but nobody is perfect. But generally I don't crop. As for feedback from editors, it tends to just be which photos they are drawn to. Most of the time the turn around is fairly quick. But with this assignment, it was nice to have a bit more conversation and hear what the editors connected with. Thankfully, most of the editors I work with want to know what photos I prefer.
