I wish I could see more of her head covering,personally. If one is to use such props I strongly suggest not crop quite so much off, of course I haven't checked the portfolio. An interesting smile and face, Tanja. I wish you well. gs

Really? I like it cropped this tightly!

 

I think the tight cropping helps to turn the knitted item into an abstract framing device rather than having it be a distractingly real object that would otherwise steal attention away from the stunningly pretty face of this model.

 

Speaking of which, those are great eyes! And, the smile/cheeks have such a coy mischievousness to them. Rarely to do head-only shots have such personality in them.

 

Nice work!

You have a valid point about the scarf as a frame Ian. It seemed that the top 'frame' got so little attention whereas the neck part (and sliver of shoulder skin) gets a lot more, but maybe that is not bad,---would have to see a lineup of crops---editorial preview style as on a light box to decide. I f this were a cover shot, the top would be where the banner would go. If a product shot for skin blush etc. than the present crop would be better. I guess on second glance and on balance I would go either for less crop or more centering the face in a square format- my unblushingly favorite format.... Again one has to admire this model even with her charming slightly crooked smile that adds personality and a 'Liv UIlman' of old real girl look. Glad for Tanja to see multiple reactions.Means we are drawn to her work. aloha,gs

That's a nice way to isolate the face and highlight the blue eyes. Good work.
