7.)
Original
Cropped
a.) The cropping choices have again changed the story of the photo. Instead of the picture telling us about two girls on the beach, it is now of one girl. With it being a close-up, we don't know where she is at, why she is happy, ect. It makes more of a mystery.
b.) Components that were eliminated were the background and the other figure in the picture.
