Thank you all for your comments. This is one of mine and Charlie's favorites. Barry I do like your cropped image,but the reason I shot it this way is for it's purpose. We did this shoot for her comp cards and she told me that they needed to have room for text. Either horizontally or vertically. After viewing it I did crop it several different ways including this one but after all was said and done, I still liked the unconventional framing method I used. To me it gives the picture a sense of motion; almost as if the wall was turning. And I also made a mistake about the film. This was actually taken on Velvia not XP2. I confused it with some others from the shoot.

Excellent lighting and pose. Only thing I might do would be to crop just a bit off the top, but (pun intended) don't touch the bottom (pun intended). ;-)
Thank you for the kind words Vincent.

I like this shot.. Had the model shown up to me for a B&W shoot with that "busy" of a shirt on, I would have sent her to change immeadiatley.. but you pull it off ellegantly. Nice pose as well. Excellent shot!

Even though it covers over a valuable part of her subject matter, I do like this crop....a lot! What do you think Matt?? By the way, when I say send her to Marty, I mean I would like to see his work with a non-exotic. He is good.

Matt, this is really a pretty shot. Her left elbow creates a lot of visual tension because its slightly cropped. In the attachment, I've tightened the entire shot. Let's see more of this series!

I am with you Vincent. Personally I wouldn't change a thing. I don't like photographs that are textbook studies of the rules of photography anyway. Sometimes you just need to let all of that go and ask yourself if you like it. If the answer is yes then nothing else matters. However, just to prove I can still pick nits with the best of them. I would move that top crop down one clapboard and balance the amount of wall on the top and right. :-)

I have said before that I am no expert on portraits, but this is your best one in my opinion. I may be shot down by others more experienced here, but I think this is a great shot. Maybe you could crop some of the top down, but I like it as is. I think you focus on her ....um, best qualities here. A pretty girl, great job. Send her over to Marty, he could use somebody like this!
