studio A better crop of a previous image

This is a new crop of an older image. I think it is a better crop but

would love to get others' opinions.

thanks!

I love the way you have used light and shadows here as well as the dark background. All of this makes for a study of pure form. The shadow between her breast and rib cage is one of my favorite elements in nude photography.

Have to agree with Mark regarding the light - it's perfect. I would be more brave on cropping and would go as far as the cropping out the leg completely, leaving only curved lines in the picture. Yes, that's exactly 1/4 less of the picture.

Well, I don't know what your old crop looked like, but I like this one a lot!

Janis, thanks for the suggestion. But I am not shy about cropping. Always happy to try different crops. I didn't see that before, but you're right, that would be good. Will try

Mike, The previous crop is this:

Great lighting and real colors of the skin on subdued light!

Thanks for your recent visit Justem!

Best regards

I don't think I ever saw the original crop. I guess I should have spent a little time looking for it before commenting. That said, I do like this. I love the use of space. The use of shadows is rather fantastic. A fine shot indeed.
