Without the guitar she has an awkward posture. It just doesn't feel
right to me.

Of course there's not enough guitar for a nicely balanced composition.

So I like with guitar best but ultimately neither is a great shot.

After seeing them, gotta agree with you. I mean about 'with the guitar'.
It's a lovely shot Frank.

Same here. I would've said the same thing earlier, but I figured my 
predisposition toward guitars might have colored my opinion.

Thanks, Attila,

As mentioned earlier, I think I like the guitar in there, just because to me 
she looks to have an awkward posture, but maybe that's because I know there 
~was~ a guitar there to begin with. 

Anyway, appreciate your input along with everyone else who commented. 

Cheers, 
frank

Go with the original. It shows enough guitar to show that she's
playing guitar. She's the real subject of the shot so that's what you
need. And it's all you need.

2014-01-08 Thread Kenneth Waller
KnarF - FWIW unless the first image was somehow related to her guitar skills, I 
much prefer the shot of her without the partial guitar. To use the first image, 
it needs to show more of the guitar.

I didn't have a real problem with the guitar but I think this is a  
better crop, although it does lose the context of the previous version.
