What do others think? These are definitely not the worst framings I've seen, but neither are they magical in-camera compositions (of course, in my opinion).

They are as I composed them, I like them like this, they are as I intended - and that's what counts. I'm far from perfect, who is? But I at least strive to compose my photos from the get go and not rely on idiotic cropping afterwards - there is no art in cropping!
