This photo was cropped by somebody, and you know damn well it wasn't Hugh Betzner. But, the question is: why crop off the front of the car?



Let's say, for the sake of argument, that someone sought to reduce it to just the limo. OK. But, why sever the front of it? Consider how much better the image would look if they showed the intact car? Doing it the way they did, it's like they took a meat cleaver to it. Visually and artistically, it would have been far better to leave the front edge of the car and a little space in front of it to show the idea that it's an intact car on the road. It would have been so much more pleasing to the eye. This was NOT cropped in any reasonable way as to aesthetics or balance or content. They butchered the image! And why? It was because of Oswald in the doorway.
