The Power Of Cropping Images

I went it Lucha Libre Volcanica's 8th Anniversary event recently, where I took this photo:

I took a ton of photos, actually and MANY of them look like that - I sat behind tall people, and there were short people behind me (so I couldn't really stand up without blocking their view).

So I had to hope that the image(s) can be fixed with a bit of cropping.

Like this:

Now don't get me wrong: It's still not a great image, but it's significantly better.

For the record: It was a fantastic show, and I'm going to go to more of their shows, time permitting.
