New Framing - C&C

[etnad0]

I re-framed the photo that I previously posted. I've already had a ton of C&C about the lighting, so now I'm looking for C&C on the framing. I got a lot of suggestions before and I attempted to follow it. Please let me have any suggestions for framing. Thanks.

Personally I think the image isn't really that great to start with as for the new edit it's tiny if it were full size and possibly a border added to the image and just a tad more background from the image.

I don't have much to say about framing aside, from perhaps the "new edit" is too tight.

If you have access to a channel mixer, try converting to grey using R +60, G -30, B +90.

Generally, I try not to cut off arms/legs in strange places. I love the picture, but when you cut off her arms in weird places it changed it's pleasingness to the eye. Does that make sense?

Not of fan of the armpit shot.

If a client gave me this image to be used in some specific way, this is how I'd crop and grade it:

I agree with others, the in-camera framing is a bit awkward. I would also remove the tattoo, not because I dislike tattoos, but this concept demands clean, uninterrupted forms - unless these are for her of course, then I'd keep it intact by all means.

Again, greyscale was converted using channel mixing at a ratio of 60 -30 90.

Thanks, these are for her personal use, so the tattoo stays. I like that crop. I'll work on my gray scale conversion as well.

Thanks. I agree. I think I misinterpreted the advice on the other thread with the new crop. I thought it seems to be an odd way to crop, but with no example given I figured I'd just go for it. Again, probably my misinterpretation.

Horizontal? What's up with that?
