I like to always crop using software. thats the best way to finish composing. also, it alows me to "not" zoom much at all. cropping is the best way to zoom. because, you get more camera shake when zoomed. so focus , genneraly compose and crop later. i use the free Picassa software from dowload.com its pretty easy to use. one style Ilike is to photograph in such a way that the viewer has to think about what exactly they are looking at. also to take at different angles and see for myself what is interesting. then delete the crappy ones so everyone thinks all I take are great pictures

i havent figured out how to post photos yet but I can email some if anyone PM's me. I've won a couple small contests, nothing major and havent yet invested in a real pro camera. just use a 5.1 MP Nikon compact. I truly believe that a good photographer can take a better pic with a 500$ camera than an idiot can with a 10,000 camera. lighting is everything or almost everything.
