Nancy, lovely shot. Great paint job. The colors are great. My cropping suggestion would be to crop from near where the elbow meets the trunk, both vertically and horizontally. This will bring out the face detail and it will become more of the focal point of the photo without the peripheral grass and extra trunk. The location you've chosen greatly compliments the tiger topic. Well done. Maybe she'll grow up to be a zoologist! #989307

Thank you Stephanie I will do that. It has just "stumped" me on what to do with this to make it a better photo :) #6391176

I agree with Nancy. I would crop
left side: crop between the hand and face
right side: crop all the way over to her shoulder
bottom: crop up to a point where the image is a good size for printing (since the side cropping makes it pretty skinny you'll have to crop the bottom up to a point where is will be a "printable" size)

Hope all of that makes sense and helps. Tried to be very specific. I'd love to see it after those suggestions. #6452974
