You do this right and I will shoot you fine

This is something which I could not avoid looking at while I was taking shelter below a tree near the Sun temple in Konark. The photographer was trying to teach the women to keep her hand in perfect posture so that he can shoot her photo in front of the sun temple in such a manner that it will look like she is putting her hand on the top of the monument. It is a common format of shooting photographs and many people here are seen doing like that.

Try to avoid foot amputation when you compose all the way to the ankles.

I think the first thing a viewer sees is that the feet of the two people have been cut off. From the poses of the two individuals one would think that they were looking at a couple dancing rather than a photographer attempting to pose the young lady. I like your inclusion of their hands which adds to the visual impact of the image. I think I would have cropped out the partial figure on the right.

Well the essence of the photo is very powerful, nonetheless. This bodes well for your photography, so don't lose heart!
