On the balcony
Comments by Jeff Dye on Fri, 09/10/10 11:14 Very nice. Good expression and I like the pattern and texture of the wall but not to the point
Comments by Gwenn on Fri, 09/10/10 11:29 Thanks Jeff ! I tried, but I still prefer the first non cropped image. Can't explain why. Maybe on the first the eye can escape on the left side, the second photo seems confined.
Comments by Gwenn on Fri, 09/10/10 11:31 Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 09/10/10 13:27 I would agree with a tighter cropping... I don't understand why you would want the viewer's attention to escape to the left rather than lingering on the subject matter... the little girl and the contrast between her and the background brick wall.
Comments by Gwenn on Fri, 09/10/10 13:36 Well, it can be surprising, but I like when I look at a photo that my eyes move on it, rather than be attached on a single place. The fact that the eye can escape doesn't mean it won't come back on the main subject. Maybe the second is better for most people. Interesting to talk about it. Thanks Jan ! Comments by Jeff Dye on Fri, 09/10/10 15:18 The OP and the cropped version represent a simple, straight forward portrait. It doesn't fit
Comments by Alias on Fri, 09/10/10 15:33 I see this a little differently.

Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Fri, 09/10/10 17:10 Lovely shot. I like the soft focus on her face. If this were mine image to hang on a wall I would prefer your cropped version (third shot). Both are good, but I think the third one is really the best IMO. Comments by Tom Manson on Sat, 09/11/10 10:12 Welcome. Adorable subject and great scene. Ultimately, it's your photo, so do what you
