Beth, pausing at the lake's edge.

Concerned I may have cropped this a little too close to Beth's head.

Or too far from the shirt tail.

Hi Dougity,

A beautiful setting for a beautiful woman.

Well done.

Best Regards,  Mike

Dougity,

You questioned the composition, so I will comment only on it.

The top and bottom compositional balance doesn't bother me. I think it wouldn't hurt to have a smidgen more headroom, but I don't think it should be much of a concern.

I am more concerned about the left and right compositional balance. The image is a little left heavy. I would like to see more room in front of her than behind so that she is facing into the picture rather than out of it. You could add more to the left side or crop a bit on the right side.

Nice shot,

Mark

Mike, thanks.  Mark, thanks, I think I agree with you. I act on defaults too often and just plopped her in the middle, but you are exactly right.
