Default different crop

Since my posts are tearing up the board with responses
let me add another one to the mix.

Tried a different crop on this and would like to hear any positive or negative reactions to it.

Thanks!
Sis

I like it, but might like a bit more showing at the top of the pic.

Sure, and I bet you tell Ernst that all the time


LOL I'm just kidding, Steve - I know it's not a typical RofT crop but I sometimes feel like I'm getting in a rut...

But that's why I posted it - to see what reactions I get to that. I am taking your suggestion seriously (even though I had to joke around!) so thank you very much!

I haven't seen the other crops of this yet Sis so I am commenting backwards here.

I really like this. The multiple catchlights in her eyes is a definite positive in this case. It make her eyes sparkle and her eyes draw me right into this. It is an image meant for b&w.
She has such a beautiful jawline!

I am not sure this is the best crop for this but I like it and bet it would look great in a 16x20.

And totally unexpected from you! I thought you'd hate it!

Thanks, Fran. Not useless. I was working up some pics for my blog and wanted to do one closeup, slightly odd cropped b/w of each senior girl I did this year - this was one.

Here are the rest (mixed in with some different ones). There are 4 b/w closeups like I described.

Hoping to attract more girls this coming year - I only did 4 this past year but had more boys than that.

Thanks, Keith! She is beautiful indeed and does have a pretty jawline; gorgeous eyes, and I love her 'widow's peak'. She's such a sweetie, too.

Here is the original crop, you might like it better.

I like the crop but I also think it would be better squared & eliminate the lower left hand jewels!!!

I love that 1st crop because, well... I LOVE IT. The original crop is beautiful too, but I would probably have cropped a little more of the left side off. Can a little touch-up under her eyes be done? Looks a bit like she's squinting?

there are many aspect's to a photo subject, print, crop, and final result
each has its part in my mind , so how you crop it, means you feel that its the best representation of the taken photo, other wise we would all be doing the same thing over and over again" Lauren
