One of my 1st photos. I was still playing around, so I took this one in B&W.

something about the cropping on this one kinda bothers me a bit. I think it's the empty space on the left and the super-tight crop on the bottom.

Please tell us a little about your lighting. Was there a side light source as well as the main light? What post production work did you do? Tight cropping is OK but I would prefer to see the full mouth and not have the corner cut off.

Hi...

This picture was taken indoors, mid-day, while I was playing with the shutter speed (1/60sec) and F-Stop (F3.5). No extra lighting, tripod or flash. Just a quick pic of my wife watching TV. In PSP, I made the background a little darker, softened the lighting on the face, used the paint tool to reveal the original eye detail and the healing brush tool to remove some skin crap ;-).

No Cropping... again I zoomed too close, me thinks

I agee that, just that little more of the mouth would have made this a beaut!

Thank & regards.
