[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 529435, member: 13090"] I was going to point that out as well. While I suppose there could be exceptions, I've been taught the rule: [I]Do not to crop at joints.[/I] Cropping at a joint, even small ones like the knuckles, creates tension. The other thing I keep in mind regarding joints is they need to be bent to look their best. There are probably exceptions but the rule I've been taught is: [I]If it's a joint, bend it.[/I] And that means right down to the fingers. It doesn't have to be much of a bend, just enough to break the line, but it needs to be there. [/QUOTE]
