My recent studio work

Nothing fancy ... just a lot of fun...

Really nicely lit, but i feel like there are too many portions chopped off in the last two.

Thanks! I was kind of lost on the last one as far as cropping...

I think the last two are beautiful... and in my opinion I don't mind the cropping at all.

In the last one I might have cropped it up from the bottom a little more because the way the straps of her dress start to come together grab my attention and take me out of the frame... I think it would just feel better if you cropped the bottom before the lines started to "point" towards each other, if that makes sense.

Nice job though. :sillysmi:

As far as cropping her head... I saw this posted to G+ once. I don't know how everyone feels about it, but I found it interesting. I don't know what the reasoning behind any of it is either, but I haven't gotten around to researching it, haha.

I don't care for the lighting in the first 3, but the last 2 are much better but if you are cropping the top of the head the eyes need to be sharper
