And now all the time in the good ol' days of digital, too. :)
Good suggestion.

How about selecting that green triangle and just darkening it, either
by burning in or reducing the luminance? That might get rid of the
distraction without having to crop tighter.

I disagree, the lack of distracting elements is one indication of a
crafted image IMO, one that has been studied and thought about, as
opposed to a quick snap - which this image isn't.

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 :)
