I'd probably crop off the top 1/3rd of the pic. I do like the image, though I think the composition would have been better if you had shot it at a slight angle, either from the left aiming towards her face, or the right aiming towards the art.


With the impending forum closure, please consider joining the unofficial adjunct to the POTN forum, The POTN Forum Facebook Group (external link), as an alternate way of maintaining communication with our members and sharing/discussing the hobby.

i completely agree on both counts. for some reason when i processed these images i decided to lock the aspect ratio for crops - something i don't generally do.

I like that the painter is clearly the subject but there is a tantalizing glimpse of the portrait she is painting.

she's painting johnny cash. and she is looking up, to a picture of him off cam. i think this is originally why i left the negative space. a tighter crop would more clearly show her look upwards, out of frame.

I'd clone our completely or darken the blue light which is behind her.
