One of the nice things about digital photography and Photoshop is that it's much easier to crop your images. While it's still good practice to fill the camera frame with your composed image, you will often find a need to crop images to eliminate distractions and add impact.
Where and when to crop is up to you, but you should get a feel for it with time. Just think about what your subject is, and how to best convey that.
Photograph a few images around the house. Something that is of some interest, use different compositions and fill the camera frame as much as possible. Load your images into Photoshop or some other image editing program and then play with the cropping tools to see if they can help make your image stronger.
I'm not suggesting that every image needs to be cropped or should be. Cropping is just a tool that is a available to you. I rarely crop, but in the case of this Lotus Flower cropping gives this photo the punch I wanted that would have otherwise been missing.
