The photo is very tightly framed and cropped. How exactly you would crop it? Why do you want to see more of the man? What would more of his body add to the photograph? If you crop out some of the space above him, you will lose some or all of the woman. How do you reconcile that? Maybe you didn't see her. If you didn't, and you do now, how does that change your feeling about the photograph? Is the woman a dream? A thought? An apparition? Does she add to or detract from the photograph? Would the photo work without the man, and just the woman? Is the man really the main subject?
