A few days ago I took this picture of a yellow flower that was in my garden. It caught my attention because this was the only tiny flower on the grass. Besides, It had a very intense color.
To try something different, I’ve made a big crop of the image and I’ve also applied some curves adjustment. I also wanted to see how a 100% crop of a photo taken with the Canon XTi looked like. The image has an amazing definition and lots of detail, and when zoomed in to 100% you don’t perceive any loss of quality at all. I also want to add that this flower was very small, only 3 centimeters wide.
The second photo is the original one as it came out of the camera. Do you think that the intensive cropping looks good? Or you would have preferred the original image with only some small cropping?
From now on I will try to include all the photo information such as the aperture, shutter speed, etc., I hope you find this useful!
