As I was snapping away at Willis Tucker last Sunday, I caught a photograph of Shasta greeting another dog. Unfortunately, the photograph, while it captures a sweet moment, has issues.
My issues:
- The focal point of the picture, the noses, isn't centered.
- Another dog has its nose in Shasta's business.
- A random tail makes Shasta look as though she has a horn growing from between her shoulders.
- Shasta has an extra leg growing out of her chest.
- There's a distracting partial human directly above the focal point of the picture.
I tried cropping it a few different ways, but I can't get satisfactory framing that results in a standard sized photo.

| Better...the noses are roughly centered, but Shasta still has those unnatural growths. |
 |
| A square crop isn't an improvement over the original rectangular crop. |
 |
| This isn't bad. The distracting human is mostly cropped out and Shasta no longer looks deformed. Unfortunately, I've lost the original charm of a sweet interlude amid the chaos. |
It may be that I'll just have to settle for this being a cute snapshot rather than a really special photo, but I hope not. Any suggestions?
