[QUOTE="wev, post: 529738, member: 16783"] This is, of course, entirely subjective and presupposes you have more image to work with. By shifting her body left, you have created a right hand band of background roughly equal to the mass of her body. Against the dark side of her body, it has too much visual weight, overloading the image and creating the effect that she is falling backward, which I don't think was your intent. Her left side, that she is turning away from, is the more interesting, but needs more background to play against; the visual tension created by the forced imbalance does not enhance the point of the image, but distracts from it. I do not know if the top of the hat was cut off in camera, but if done in crop, it serves no purpose except to allow an easy way for the eye to leave the picture. I keep wondering why it was sliced off. I have taken the liberty to re-frame the shot , albeit crudely without the original.
