Cropping

[DavidD]

Hi

can you advise please? How would you crop this. I added white to the right but now i'm not so sure.

TIA

Kind Regards
David

Hi DavidD!
althought I am not a pro, I think there is too much white space. I would let just half of it, and maybe some also on the top, so we can follow the direction of the eyes (to up right)

greetings,

Thank you so much for your valued opinion BR.

I wouldn't crop it. In my opinion it works very well. His eyes leads you to the white, and makes me think "what is he looking at!"

I would crop it... but in square ... it is a good compromise :-)

Thanks 1980 and Soup. Good suggestions. Feel free to crop and upload, it's a low rez to keep in line but I would be able to see the idea. I'm into different crops at the moment from tight half a head with jaunty angle to extra s-p-a-c-e..... All very interesting to help my learning curve. What a great forum.

Could try a portrait crop too, instead of landscape, with more white above his head since he's looking up, not to the left. I like the shot

Yes, true. Thanks for the idea and compliment.
