Trying square composition

Saralonde had posted a link to the picasa ortonization tutorial:
Using Picasa to "Ortonize"

I have just tried to follow the recipe.

marcinK, Welcome

Are you finding square crops sometimes really help to focus attention? This is an especially good example. If the child is the main focus, this works. Wonder how it would look, having the adult more to the right and slightly lower? This position and her expression do make one want to know what's going on to their side. Nice tension. A little less yellow would yield better skin tones. Good work overall.

I like this composition a lot. As Jiminy mentions, the skin tones are a bit yellow but I think the square (and the positioning of the faces within it) works very well.
