With her hand cropped out.

This is the original photo. I would like an opinion on weather I should crop out her hand? Any opinion would be appreciated. I'm kinda think I should. #9354Carolyn Weikkola September 16, 2002
I'm kinda liking the hand in, it's relaxed and casual........but, you have a better eye for this sort of thing!! (I really like this picture...but then again, I like all your pictures) #14980Danea Burleson September 16, 2002
Thanks Carolyn. I agree with your view. I'm torn on this one....lol. Oh and notice my bad typing in my last comment? It should read... I'm kinda thinking I should. Time to start proof reading...hehehe. #14983Carolyn Weikkola September 16, 2002

Nice shot Danea. I like the one thats cropped the best. The crop removes some excess distraction. Both are excellent though. #15017Danea Burleson September 16, 2002
Thanks Jeff. My initial thought was the hand seemed to be a distraction. But also thought that maybe it showed her position better. Guess that's why I needed others opinions. :-) #15020Damian P. Gadal September 16, 2002
I think the cropped one works better... #15030Danea Burleson September 16, 2002
Thanks Damian. I think I like the composition better when it's cropped. #15033Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
