shame you lost the mouth. needs a better composition, either closer or wider

Great DOF and color. Not sure what it is, but something about the image seems a little off to me - maybe the crop. It seems to have all the right elements, but they aren't fitting together for me (if that makes any sense). It's a good shot, but something keeps me from scoring it higher. (I wish I could be more descriptive and if it dawns on me later, I'll come back and edit this comment, because I imagine all I did was frustrate you - sorry, that was not my intent. I just wanted to be honest.) 6

The cropping really hurts this one. Being able to see more of the mouth would have been a big improvement for me.

I would have liked to see this not so tightly cropped on the bottom of the photo. Good clarity and focus.

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice
