Thanks Frank. I dodged her face a bit more for this one, so that may have introduced a bit of softness. In spite of +1 stop exposure comp, she was a bit underexposed. The guys light shirt caused that, plus he was shading her a bit from the window light. Paul On Jan 18, 2010, at 5:56 PM, frank

yes and no - to me the recrop totally changes the meaning of the image - in the uncropped, the angle of his head as judged from his ears has him potentially staring at the ponytailed blonde in the background so the eyes potentially notice his stare and lack of attention - oh yeah, 5 bucks
