Thanks, so much! I think it's my fav crop too.

And you are NOT too old!

No, no offense at all...she commented several times on her face shape. She was unhappy with her hairstyle; the one she had before covered more of her cheeks and she thought it slimmed her face more. I think she's pretty anyway.

But what you say makes perfect sense. And thanks for the K!

Of the B&W I like the first post (final edit) in the wide format with the extra space; it allows me to visualize the interesting BG and doesn't bother me. And of the cropped images, I like the one in traditional portrait instead of the square - and I like square crop. Her face has a square shape and to me the portrait crop seems to make it more elongated. I probably make no sense here but just my thought!
They are obviously very happy with the result and that's what counts.

Tom, what you say also makes sense, just like Songman. I think the square crop is interesting but you are right, it mirrors her face shape a bit too much.

Thanks friend!

Hi Sis
I'm not sure if you wanted the picture to have a blue quality to it?
I played with the photo a bit.
See if you can identify the changes I made.
I ran my skinny action on it for one.

I like the color one better but its very much on the cold side (but I think that has been said before?)
