Task 2 Cropping the image

Task 2 required us to crop an image to change the perceived meaning of the photo
I used various online sources to find photos including Flickr and the photo.net galleries
 The first image shows a couple kissing at the edge of a mini pier(?) captured with a slow shutter speed which has left light trails of the fair ground in the background as well as motion blurring from the waves crashing as if for that one moment, time slowed down for this couple
 My first crop of that image took the couple right out of the image so now it is only the pier and fairground you can see
.
And my final crop focused on just the couple kissing so it is not apparent where they are








My second image taken from the photo.net galleries show a cat waiting for a fishing boat to return for an easy meal






 I first cropped it so now it is just an average view out towards the sea, this completely removes the original story behind this image and could easily of been taken by anybody standing on a beach or dock
The second image just shows the cat standing on the edge of a platform surrounded by water which conflicts with the general assumption that cats are scared of water.
