I guess the question then would be why? Did you crop it at the top like that in order to show more of the image at the bottom? Or was there something about the top that you didn't like? I would think that the full head would make for a better shot.

Why did I crop that way? The only reason was because I like that type of crop. Look at my work and you will see alot of that style of cropping. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I think it works as is but what the heck do I know? There are other shots in the series where I didnt crop in that way and those work or dont work as well. Basically it is a personal preference thing.

Scott,

This brings up a very good point. I don't care who you are. If you post something, ask for help (or not), and I think I can provide some input, I will. Some people think that because you've been around here for a long time that you're doing it right. They fear questioning you because they think you'll blast them for it.

Reminds me a lot of a recent tiff I had with a forum regular here. People rarely give him negative feedback. It probably has to do with the fact that they think he'll blast them. Well, he does. It's actually a shame.

I've often wondered if I get honest feedback for the same reason. My feeling is that if you think you see something you could improve in an image I post and you can say it constructively, I wanna hear it. I don't care if you've got 2 posts or 2 thousand. However, if you make comments and give no reason for them and your work shows the same things you're telling me not to do, I'll hand you your a$$.

I've often considered posting here as a different person with my images just to see the different reactions I would get.

Scott, I know you. You're on the up and up. I would like to think that you feel the same way I do about critiques. It's sad when others don't take the same approach we do. Kinda hinders the whole learning environment I've come to know and love here on GG.

Just my two cents.

I feel exactly the same way. You said it very well. Probably alot better then I would have.

On another note. That image just got me my first showcase on that other modeling place. Not a big deal, I know but it makes me happy none the less. Tells me I finally did something right. Actually I did have a showcase on a models portfolio but that just isnt the same. I didnt really even care for that shot and never put it on my port.

I really like this Scott. I really like the colors. Only thing that distracts me is that her make up is a little too dark for my liking....but she is beautiful even so!

I think I would have moved her over slightly so you can see the full latern. I like how the reds pop in the image.
