Lizard shot

[Ghetto Panda]

Hey all,

Just got this shot a couple of days ago now i'm happy with the detail but i feel there is too much negative space above his head should i crop a bit off or just leave it? opinions please :hug::.

Nicely sharp and well lit photo with no disturbances in the background or anything ... but I feel that your thoughts on a possible further crop are well funded. I measured the image and it is 22cms in height on my screen, with the eyes of the lizard at 9 cm from above (approx.). That makes them NOT sit in the VERY centre of the photo (being also at 9cm from the left with a width of 13cm), but still quite close to it.

I guess that a crop that would shift them to about 6-7 cm from above might help --- and you still have some room on the left from which to crop in in case you want to keep up the standard print ratio.

I also feel the same about this shot as well should i crop some of the top off?

I'd crop the top of both of them personally and have them as more square shots.
The negative space isn't working well on these great images.

Simple answer to your straightforward question about the second photo: yes.

i also think it will look better when you crop the top on both images.
btw, thats a groovy looking critter.
