Portrait

I'm curious as to whether to crop the photo tighter, some of the wall

to the left off, or now.

Susan:

 

Very nice portrait, and yes, I believe that by cropping off some of the wall to the left, the attention and focus of the viewer will be directed more at the lady. Nicely done.

Andrew may be correct but going back to the old rule of thirds it is about perfect to me, also like that she is looking in the direction of the negative space. Love the colors and hand postition.

I agree with Jim, the look is toward the left, and cropping the wall, as for me, would damage the equilibrium of the photo. Good shot.
