Zoe in braids
I wanted to shoot a portrait of a model with braided hair. Zoe's sister jumped at the chance to braid her hair for this shoot. I think she spent all night on YouTube learning this braid. I think both sisters crushed it.

YOUNG MALE MALAYAN TIGER
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.

BLACK LEOPARD
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal

I like what you did here but I would have cleaned up the flying hair some.
Thank you! I debated about the hair. I ended up liking it.
Hi hector. A good frame as always. posting a query. observing that all noted professionals have started cropping the upper part of head in such portrait compositions. Please care to share your thoughts. Thanks.
Thank you so much Vijay! Regarding the crop. I shoot a lot of fashion photography. That genre really doesn't have any cropping norms since the objective is to show off the fashion. Often times the head is cropped to force the viewer into the more important part of the image. I crop for Instagram (4 x 5) and search for the most striking image.
Hi Hector. thanks for sharing.
