Can a Photography Card Game Make Me a Better Photographer?

In today’s video, I decided to shoot two "See the Bigger Picture" photo challenges in one walk.

Challenge 1: Cropped / Partial Subjects - Framing essential details so the object is still recognizable.
Challenge 2: Shadow Shapes - Capturing shadows that reveal what the object is without showing the full subject.

Did you guess the Porsche 911 before I revealed it?
