It took at least 55 years. One learns by one's mistakes. And in 55 years of taking photographs, I have made a lot of them. Oh, and the grids on the focusing screens on my Nicons show me where the four points are in the rule of thirds. 😀

An interesting discussion on cropping. I try not to crop, but sometimes I have to because there is some object that I didn't notice when taking the picture and I cannot retouch it out. When I do crop, I try to follow the rule of thirds. In fact, I try to follow the rule of thirds when composing a photo. However, there is an even more interesting composition or cropping technique referred to as the "golden ratio. " You draw a diagonal line from one corner to another. From an opposite corner, you draw a straight line that intersects the diagonal line at a 90 degree angle. Where the two lines intersect, is the point of interest. Edward Weston, the great photographer, was a master at this technique as you can see in the photograph of Charis Wilson below. He used this technique in many of his photographs. When you look at a photo taken with the golden ratio, it looks really good but you can't quite place why.

Roman.

If one wants to get technical about things like picture composition, then one can start to examine LINES in a shot and where those lines take the eyes.

That is why CJ is right about the V shape of the legs in the G eats G shot. The strong lines of the legs take your eyes to the face of the girl performing DATY. Which after all is the point of (subject) the photo.

Portrait photography is one of the most difficult of this art form - but the one that seems to interest most.

Why is this so?

As always, a lot depends on personal taste.

Here, IMHO is an example of a bad picture made worst by cropping.

I may not be able to respond quickly, but I will always take your suggestions serious.

One doesn't necessarily want the subject or important pasts in the CENTER of the picture, sometimes better to capture it in 1/3 of the frame. So here, her head/face are in the right 3rd of the shot.. Does this make it more interesting? (that is the concept anyway)
So some suggestions fwiw.

You are one hundred plus percent right, I should have cropped that picture. Why I didn't? Your guess is as good as mine. It could boil down to flat out laziness. Maybe it was due to my frustration at having blown a perfectly good date and chance to photography a very pretty young lady. (I never should have picked up the older Betty. And! I should have taken the younger Betty to a hotel or nicer location.).

At any rate, you were right.

Next to your examples are two examples of what I should have done.

For the record 99.999% of my pictures are cropped as part the resizing necessary to post on USASG. I also crop for effect (and to remove distractions).

Here is just a small example.

I totally agree. I prefer natural, with maybe a little trim if it's necessary.

In fact, now that you mentioned it, I went back and took a new / harder look and these maybe be tattooed.

I am really not into the whole tattoo thing; I never understood the need to permanently disfigure one's body. I find the large tattoo across the top of a nice pair of boobs a distraction. I get the, "It's art thing. " But! Wouldn't staring at the Mona Lisa, 24/7, 365 days a year, year in and year out get nerve wrecking? A woman's body is a beautiful thing. I could do without the designs.

JMHO.

This may have been Star's first attempt as a provider, but it wasn't her first time sucking a dick. Star is a very talented amateur. Her outfit and her technique speaks volumes about her imagination and abilities.

Beautiful stink holes on those gals.

How are they hangin' Freaklikedat. Yeah! I am still in there bobbing and weaving, throwing a few punches and trying not to get hit. What have you been up to?

If you do decide to visit the avenue and you happen to run into Sabrina, ask about her friend Star. Star has a couple of qualities that, if memory serves, you might appreciate. One: Star is Hispanic and you were always fond of Hispanic girls. Two: Star give one hell of a nice BBBJ.
