Baby It's Cold Outside

Tried this one a little soft all over and didn't like the feel, so went for a little more edgy to offset the softness of the vignette. As always C&C appreciated.

I would go for a vertical crop just to the left of her right (image left) ear and get rid of most of the torso; her back is forming a leading line which pulls the eye away from her face.

@smoke665 I love it, I love her wry expression goes very well with the title! ;-)

I guess it depends on perspective. Of late it seems like I'm always having to climb UP instead coasting down. LOL I like the body in the frame, but I also like it cropped to an 11x14.

You've finally done it! Her expression confirms that you have gotten her to the point of just not caring what you dress her in anymore. I like the portrait best.

Thank you Dean, I may be leaning more toward the portrait crop myself.

Sadie is my shadow, in the field or inside, we seem to communicate without verbal language. The look belies the fact that she is up for anything that she sees herself as the center of attention. Once I had everything set up, she hopped up on the bench without asking.

@Jeff15 Thank you!
