Cropping

I don't know so much about cropping. Sometimes my pictures are better compositions when I print only a portion of the frame, so I guess I DO crop sometimes. But I just love the black frame I get around a photo that's printed full frame in a slightly filed negative carrier. I just think it looks cool, so much so that I spend the extra time getting it centered and all.
 
I have absolutely no objection to cropping where it helps the composition.

I usually like to crop to accepted ratios, though. 5:4, 16:9, 2.35:1, etc.
 
I am not too proud to crop when the subject doesn't match the proportions of the frame, or when I've left some tilt in the frame, of if I've simply failed to see the right composition at the time of exposure.
 
I crop according to what I saw in the viewfinder (given that the VF isn't that accurate). Generally though, I have no issues with it....
