So I was walking along the street in Burmarrad, Malta, when from the other side of the street, I noticed these kids at the door of this house. I knew they would give me a good photo however I only had the wide angle 24mm lens on my camera body. In order not to disturb them I did not want to cross the street, or else they would have been too conscious. So I shot wide.
The cropping tool in Lightroom and Photoshop is a powerful tool. You can create a new and better composition out of the original photo. So I cropped the photo by putting the kids in the right third of the image by following the rule of thirds
Below is the original shot. Above is the crop. One of them still caught me shooting them. And the girl looks kinda self conscious whereas the other kid had no clue...I love these spontaneous shots!
