Lashes

Before I went all crazy and started posting my opinions to each of the threads that interested me, I felt I should open myself up to all of your opinions first.

This is a picture I took a week or so ago of my boyfriend's niece - it's quickly become one of my all time favorite pictures. I actually like all five of the photos I kept from that day (the link "Mike and Clan" will take you if you are interested) a lot, but this one just keeps drawing my attention.

So how could it be better? Should she be more to the left of the frame? It seems as if I'm breaking the rule about giving the subject space to look into, but it also feels like one of the times when you should...

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

i really like it. i like the angle and i think that its the angle that allows you to break that rule (give space to look into). it might just be my computer but it looks a little dark, but not bad. very nice perspective. you captured great emotion. EXCELLENT

Thank you. I was worried that it may be a bit dark as well, but having played around with it some already, making it any brighter seems to change the feel of it.

i completely agree. like i said you captured great emotion in that picture but the emotion is enhanced by the low light. great job
