---------------------------------
Sadly, I waited until the last minute...literally, but it was all I had on this shot. I wasn't really thrilled over any of my shots this month, until I spent Thanksgiving with my brother and his family in North Carolina.

After leaving about 2:00 PM Sunday afternoon for home, the normally 7 hour trip put us back home after 11:00 PM, local time. I downloaded all my photos, then after a brisk perusal, I chose this one for clarity and general ease of edit.

I wasn't really that okay with the tilt, but I had already "boxed" myself in so much that there was really no "wiggle-room." SOL! :}

Not really a fan of the tilted composition on this. Makes me feel like she's falling down.

Tilt does nothing for this.

The areas around her eyes feel so blurry to me - perhaps they were over-edited a smidge?

great focus on her eyes, I find the tilt is a little distracting though

why the tilted crop? i might have done something different with the background, as its a bit bright just being white like that.

I'm all in favor of tilts... but this one has me tilting my head to straighten her. I like the blank background highlighting her. (not voting yet)

clear, but a little bland...try some better poses
