I cropped this picture as I did because the purpose of cropping is to have people focused on the item in the picture you wanted them to be focused on. I decided to go even further than that so that when you compare the original picture to the one that was cropped it was like there where two completely different pictures. So I cropped it down to focus on the cute little monkey, if you didn't know he was sitting on a rhino then it would look like an average monkey on the ground. Then, you look at the original picture and you are like "Oh my gosh! The monkey is sitting on a rhino!" This is a big industry, changing up pictures and photos, and pictures are changed all the time, so next time you look in a magazine think about all the possibilities that could have been in one picture. For all you know, it could be another monkey on a rhino!
