I usually ready frame my photos as I take them - it comes naturally to me somehow. Most times, I leave it be. But I usually can't leave well enough alone... (ahem!) and like trying out new framing, crops, zoom-ins when processing the photos before posting.
This is especially true when I get clear steady shots - my mind (and fingers...) work overtime in trying out new ideas, etc. Do you do that too?
Here are a few examples of flowers and plant-life shots I zoom-ed in on, just to show some ideas I came up with - you may like them edited... or may even like the originals better! There is no right or wrong, I feel, just personal preferences.
A close crop of a shot I took...
Wanna see the original? 😏👇
It's a jungle out there! 😄
Hah! That's one of my personal tricks when my, errrr... framing didn't work out so well, or I was a little 'meh' when I took that shot. Sometimes we see something nice, a pretty flower, and go, "Ooohhh, I need to get that!"... but the meh mood gets in between... The saving grace is getting it clear enough to zoom in and crop a new frame later. At least, this way I can say, "Oh, I saw a nice morning glory..." and have a decent photo to show... 🙄🤭

If your shot didn't come out the way you like it, shock them!
The 'in-your-face' trick! (my fav!)
😂
And the original... which the 'traditionalists' ( I like seeing the whole flower... ) may say..

Which do you prefer?
Zoom in.... close... closer.... get all the gritty details....
Up close is always more fascinating... 😮 to me anyway...
...than the full picture (sometimes)
Or how about both points of view..
