Open Format Cropping
Open format cropping in a shot allows for more focus on a detail, (eg: texture, shape). It gives you the ability to move in on subject matter and focus on a particular point.

In this example of open format cropping, the shot isn't so much in focus in the context of being clear, but we can see quite easily see the texture of the baby's skin. We are able to focus more easily on the texture and shape of the child given we have a closer area to view, and can focus on smaller points in the smaller . In comparison if this were a full length shot, it would be harder to see the finer details in the skin and the texture. The open format cropping composition gives us a closer feel into the subject of the picture, and brings about a warmth and joy within this particular shot.
