Some of the replies in this thread crack me up because I've been sitting behind the computer screen right beside certain board photographers before.
You don't have a bigger dick if you get it "in the camera". In fact, sometimes I want it a little less cropped in camera so that I can make sure to get what I want later.

You may not have a bigger dick, but you have alot more time on your hands. Plus the client is a hell of alot happier, because they pay less for post work.
True you can always do more to any shot to improve it. The question wasn't about retouching, it was about cropping. Photo 101, how to compose and crop.( I'm just taking the piss, so don't take offense.)
Shit, i could show you some polaroids of some covers I shot that would make you pee your pants with laughter.The finished product is what your after, how you get there is more about workflow.
I have a very good friend who is a huge commercial shooter. We could both shoot the same scene and he would use 15 lights, and I would use one. Guess what, the shot would look the same. It's all in how you like to work.
It just seems to make sense to get as much information and work done in the camera, and less post work. I've seen some so called "photographers" that might as well be working with Illustrator, cuz thats what they are, Illustrators.
