I have oodles of gorgeous photos... Hawaii is such a beautiful place even an amateur like me can take decent pictures! For fun, I decided to try out a challenge that Jenny at Home Is Where You Start From runs weekly.
This week she challenges her readers to post a cropped picture. I am working with a very basic camera so I have built in limitations. But this was a great opportunity for me to look with a slightly different eye at some of my shots.
In the cropped version the story is my sister-in-law's joy. She is living in the moment fully, and that energy shows. I love the movement in the waves. The strips of color in the water have a stronger impact.
The full shot tells a different story... I feel her emotion, but I also have a sense of perspective, how small she is. The story feels more about the water:

Love your cropped image. Great job! And I agree....much more life and energy in this shot. (It's also fun to get that beachy feeling on a cold December day!)
I love the cropped edition, you are right, the photo is now more about her expression, not the water in that shot. So glad you joined up with the challenge!
Great job on the photo challenge!
Thanks everyone, and thank you Jen for hosting this! I have SO much to learn about photography, it is fun to try this kind of challenge.
