Is that little triangle *that much* of a distraction? Hmmm, I s'pose I
could clone in some more hair up there ...
No its not *that much* of a distraction, but it is enough to cause my eyes
to go there. A very small issue..

Subject: Re: PESO Iryna 2
I attempted to balance your suggestion and Cotty's, but I was unhappy with
how much Iryna disappeared when I cropped both corners of the frame. Maybe
I need to leave it on screen longer and see if it grows on me, but I found
that I prefer her eyes to not drift too close to the LH side. Is that
little triangle *that much* of a distraction? Hmmm, I s'pose I could clone
in some more hair up there ...
Anyways, thank you for your comments, Ken!

I agree with the need for a tighter crop and one that would eliminate the
green triangle in the ULH corner.
Very pretty lady, nice capture.

Comments welcome, of course!
Bruce, the pic is great but either crop out the top of the dress
altogether or go much looser.
There's an old cameraman's trick to let his sound recordist know how
tight or loose the shot is (so the sound guy doesn't get the boom in
shot). If he changes the shot during the interview and holds out one
finger (index!) then that's 'One T' (for Teeth) so it's a fairly close
shot. Widening out he might hold out two fingers for 'Two T' (Teeth and
Tits), so we're into a medium shot now. Wider still and three fingers
denote 'Three T' - that's Teeth, Tits and Tummy. Almost like a rule of
thirds in a twisted kinda way.
Your shot is somewhere around 1.5T :)
