Default Gabrielle- "It's been a long day"

This is one of my favorite shots. I like to get up pretty close when but not sure which is better photo. What do you think?

Moebus Re union -Gabrielle 2007 1068

I thought I would crop it and go in even closer. Do you think I have gone too close.

Thanks for your advise in advance. I really appreciate it.

I prefer the first one.
I like the posture on the sofa of the young girl.

The first one is better because there is a frame of reference for the sideways posture of the girl. OK, the second one shows her eyes off better, but lacks the perspective of the first one. Gabrielle sure is good looking.

Try a light Vignette around the edges of the second one to highlight the face.

I really like the second, close-up one it really makes her eyes stand out and its more interesting/better composed if you can just focus on one element rather than her whole body, the couch, her toy. The first one sort of makes the image look flat, but the second has more of a story. Great shot though, very cute girl!

I like both photos equally and, just throwing this out there... but maybe flip horizontally one of the two (so she's sort of facing the opposite direction), place in a tandem 5x7 frame with grey or lavender colored matte.

they are both nice in different ways, first is an intereting perspective, but hte second makes the colors of her eyes stand out. someone said something about adding some vig, i think that would be really nice
