Hi guys,
I'm aiming for cute and fresh look with this photo. A mate recommended to crop a bit tighter above the head, what you think? Please drop a few comments if you can. Thank you.. Greatly appreciated.

Martin Dixon Slit-scan project master ![]() More info | Apr 24, 2013 04:03 | #2 Agree too much above her, or in other words her head is nowhere near rule of thirds. What are the dots insects blossom? - I quite like these. Dress is bown out which is a shame - a bit of exposure bracketing might have helped in pp. Face and arms also a bit too bright, losing detail. flickr

Apr 24, 2013 08:05 | #3 I love the image itself! As for the crop, yeah. Depending on how much space you have in the original (or is THIS the original?), I'd crop a bit from the left to center her horizontally, and crop down from the top to put her face in the top 1/3 of the frame.

It's such a shame to have to cut it "Photography has no rules. It is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it was achieved." ~ Bill Brandt

Also the dress is blown out. I'm guessing without looking at EXIF that you used either a direct flash with a diffuser or were shooting in harsh rather direct sunlight though I'd guess the later as the entire image seems overexposed and the light coming in from the right on the hair indicates sunlight.

The photo is overexposed, lacking in subject detail because of that. There is a haze about the photo. There is a bad purple cast as well. Focus looks fine. I would also recommend not shooting a woman straight on like that.
