Default Off center passable?
A bad habit of mine is not centering the subject (as you can see in this pic, the subject is off center). It is too late to re-shoot this shot. My question is, should I crop the left side to match the right or leave it as is?

Any other suggestions welcome as well.



Make: Canon
Model: Canon EOS 450D
Shutter Speed: 1/100 second
Aperture: F/16.0
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 1600

I"m really into using negative space - what if you increased the black background and put her in the lower right-hand corner??? Just an idea!

Great suggestion.

I had to darken the subject because I cut out the top of the hat as well.

Here is the result.



Better?
