Hi all,

I have been playing in t'shop and came up with this. What do you think?

nice.. but so much dead space....

vertical.... with the top of her head and her chin.. and about a 3/4 to 1/4 ratio on Ruby to White

MORE RUBY... Less White! (she is quite the lovely child, after all!)

Love it.

Definitely not typical but not that new. Either way, I love it.

Including the amount of dead space.

Ha ha...I can't win. I post a picture a while back, more vertical with less dead space and I get told to add some space for her to look into. Now I take a picture with the space built in and I have to crop it! ha ha!

No, seriously...thanks. And I knew someone would pick up on the chin...some people like to see chins still attached.

I may yet try the crop.

Cheers

I'm sure there's not much new in Photos. But it was new to me.

Glad you like it...I think I do, too. Including the dead space.

Sounds good enough to me.

After all, most of us are only trying to please ourselves.

And I didn't mean it in a bad way. I'm just one of those very cynical people who hasn't really seen anything new in the art world since the 17th century :lmao:

Yeah, I know. I didn't read it in a bad way.

And you're correct...there is very little that we can do that hasn't been done, if not in photography, then a version was done in other arts. As you say, we please ourselves. It is also nice when it pleases others.
