Dag, I really think that leaving a piece of his eyes out does hurt the frame. I wouldn't care about ears for example, but eyes - they make the whole frame and one of them is not fully there...
I could produce various theories (a.k.a. excuses) why you might have wanted to leave a tip of an eye out, but I wouldn't.
I'd rather ask you - why?
To me it is simply because it adds some intensity to the image. Being unable to see the eye makes the face seem closer. I liked this intensity because it fits very much to his interest in what I was doing, or rather, the interest any child has in his parents. If I had left the eye uncropped (I do have a couple of more exposures with the whole eye) the kid would seem calm, which he wasn�t.
I do appreciate the thought though. I almost feel like the only daughter photographer here... No offence to other fathers of daughters...
Somebody has got to do it <g>. I�ve got three sons at 4.5, 2.5 and 1 year old, so that is my job...
