Sure enough :-) just a pitty because a bit larger framing and it would be perfect.

That something what is debatable ... actually the original image was shot the way that the top of her head is not cropped... but I follow golden rule and in my opinion it looks a bit better ... but not everyone have to agree with me ..and I respect that.

I like the crop. I don't think you need all of the head. The eyes lie almost within the rule of thirds and makes the shot more interesting. What kind of modifier are you using?

There is nothing wrong with cropping if done correctly.

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
