    Re: Molly in the water

    I like the mood of the photo, there is something there to be sure, but what i think could have been better is the crop... cutting "Molly" like that doesn't seem to help the picture here...

    By keeping all of her in the frame, and keeping her to the left, would have been a better aproach, IMHO.... there also is the blown out bit at the bottom right, but that doesn't bother me at all....

    I must say i like this photo for its "classical" feel and look.... and i like the fact that she is not looking up....but that's personal taste!

    Hope that helps

    Re: Molly in the water

    On the negative, I think she's right smack dab in the middle and I felt that was just too much arm space, which is why I cut her off. I think the crop was what I was struggling with as well because it seems off to me. It seemed off when I had her entirely in the frame, too, so I just don't know. I'm going to get back in my darkroom this week and see what I can come up with. I appreciate the response
