Thanks for you thoughts Steve, I'm a fan of your work and videos.

Many of my images are purchased and framed by my clients, so I think about the edges when I'm making a shot, making sure there's nothing critical at the very edge of the viewfinder that might look odd if it was covered by a mat or frame.
That said, I don't think this is an excuse for "loose" cropping. I think you should get the crop right in the field, not drop 1/3rd of the image off when you get home.
