Originally posted by Bear_Music: This is great! I'm not sure it wouldn't work better with a fair amount cropped off the left side. I'm far from slavish about the rule of thirds, but in this one you might be better off approximating it. I'm not sure though. In any case, there's a white distraction left edge low, and a really hot spot center left in the dark area behind her. Both could profitably be eliminated; the first probably is about where I'd crop, a little cloning to kill the second. Also the whiteness of her chest is a tad strange, compared to the rest of her flesh; I might isolate that area and bring a hint of color into it with selective color.

thanks for that. im gonna try and fix the problem right now.
i didnt notice the white distraction for some reason.
ill see what i can do with the hot spot.
thanks again!

Your style is evolving strongly and beautifully.

Very striking, very "you". I presume you intentionally cropped the tight tangent to the head and the dress, top and bottom, and I'm not sure I agree with you, especially where the dress is concerned. I'd prefer to see that one tiny missing piece of the hem revealed.

That's quite a shot. You have an eerie and evocative "look" developing in your images. Well done!

I like the idea, the composition and colors. Just wish the girl was in sharper focus.
