I took this photo of my daughter and didn't get her whole right leg in the shot.:( Do you think I need to crop it more or live with it?

Honestly, I don't feel it is all that bad. Maybe if you cropped a bit more off the right side, it would even it out a bit? She is sooo cute!

Oh, one other thing is maybe stamp out or desaturate the blue on the bottom of her shoes. I find that quite distracting.

it's fine....but if you want to concentrate on her face and what she's looking at...then i would crop more to bring focus just to her face and the flower she's holding..

it's a nice pic tho....

I couldn't see the Exif into. What aperture? I think a realy shallow depth of field on this would be awesome! As far as cropping, I think it looks fine. Of course it would be nice to have no clipping, but the image you have is great.

F5,1/160sec,focal 220mm,iso400,manual.
I was playing with my 75-300mm lens I got with the camera.(twin lens kit)
I blurred this one more....

Wow you did an awesome job on that last fix! I really like it! ^

One last suggestion to make the photo pop is play around with levels/curves. It could be brightened up, according to what my monitor show me and maybe slightly warmed. Looks great though and I notice you stamped out the blue on the shoe. ;)

I like how that photo looks really dreamy and the tone is nice, but not *exactly* what I had in mind. :) It is almost too yellow now. (Sorry, I really do not want to seem like I am dissing your work, it's just my own opinion and acquired taste. )

The first one below is more of what I had in mind, and the second was just thrown in as a bonus. ;)

I hope you don't mind! Again I'm really not saying my edits are any better, it's just more my taste.
