About the only general rules I have are to keep the same proportions as the original (2:3) if I crop on the computer and to do what "looks right." But yes, I do ten to prefer closer crops. Dunno why, just a personal preference thing I think. I think you're right about the tamarin. It should be focused more on the face. On the Buckeye photo the darn thing flapped it's wings and the only one I liked the focus in was the one where the wing hit the edge. But I don't agree about the edge on the picture of Sweta. When I look at it cropped in to remove that it feels a little too abstract to me. Constructive comments are fine. :) I know you not trying to tell me I suck or anything. (And even if you were, I'd still do what I liked!)
