I took a snap of my dog when i was taking it for a walk, i know it's not a great photo but i want to know how you would crop it to make it more appealing. I had a go at cropping it but i don't think it looks right

One option.

Ah right i thought it was just like a rule that if your subject is looking one way then you should have more of the image in that direction that it's looking

How's that? Some poor cloning, but you get the idea That back leg turned out freakishly bad

Oh yeah haha, wasn't a fan of the red cord lead?

How would you crop this image?

In the camera's viewfinder before releasing the trigger.

Any cropping done post proce3ss means discarding pixels. Discarding pixels reduces image resolution. Reducing resolution is not desirable.

Why buy a 10 MP camera and then crop away 4.3 MP post process?

Yeah usually i do, but i happened to be crouched at the edge of a wall next to the river so i didnt have much time to set up the viewfinder too good hehe
