Yes, I find that with the K110D files too - only 6.1Mp to start with.

Crop it the way that pleases you the best. If no one else appreciates
it, that's their problem, not yours.
However severe cropping might lead to issues of too small a file for
printing large images, although I've gotten nice large prints from cropped
*istD files.

I think you may have missed something important though.
Trying to keep all that in your head while photographing in the real
world is probably going to make it explode. And that *WILL* make you
miss the image you wanted.
Everyone has their own *opinion* on the right way to do it. Everyone
knows how the rest of that analogy goes.
Bottom line - shoot what you want to shoot. Hopefully whatever it is
that attracted you to the scene in the first place will be in focus.
Nothing else really matters.

Don’t know where to start in responding to the responses. So many. So
interesing. So helpful. Special thanks to Cotty, Bob, Larry, and
Stan. Also Paul, John C, Ann, Igor, and Boris. I think I’ll try to
summarize and maybe later respond to individual responses. I hope
y’all will be able to find yourselves in the summary.
So what I heard was: Try frame to get what you want in the first
place. Reduce the variables, e.g., work with just one lens, to make
it easier to concentrate on framing and composition. Study
composition, and work to get better at it. On the other hand,
cropping is involved from beginning to end, from composing the shot
before it’s taken to final editing for presentation. And it is the
image presented that is important. Often circumstances, e.g., dynamic
moving or changing subjects or settings, make it difficult to frame
for the image you want. You can frame too tight, missing the image
you wanted. Occasionally there’s a secondary image in the original
image that can be brought out by cropping. Reframing in post is/may
be an aesthetic necessity. Finally, aiming to frame right in the
first placing and cropping in post both can help you see more
creatively.
Again, thanks too all. I don’t know much, but a hell of a lot of what
I know I learned from y’all.
