    Shady Portrait

    Hi everyone. I took this during a break in the rain and purposely used the shadows and light to accent the eyes and her dress pattern. What do you all think? Thanks.

    I like the play of light and shadow.
    Crop the top to lose the ceiling lights and most of all..keep shooting!

    How's this? I didn't want to crop too much because I don't want to cut more of her hair off.

    Yep,,,,,,I like it better.
    Only other nit-pick is her fingers touching frame so if you cropped width any on that side, I'd put 'em back.

    And my little nit-pick would be to reverse your right side crop to reconnect her arm which also saves the hair.

    I am struggling with some harsh light problems but this really worked for you. Nice.

    Maybe crop the right (to center them more) and crop a chunk from the bottom to remove the floating forearm? And like Frog said, if you have more data from the left side, then restore her fingers.
