There isn't much you can do for a chin such as hers if you want to do
a shot like you did. Shooting down at the model from a high angle
would help to de-emphasize her chin, but it wouldn't work for that
photo. About all you can do for that photo is to get a different model.

That's what I thought. Personally, I don't find the chin to be distracting
in the levitation image. I think the models who criticized it were either
being a bit shallow or artistically short-sighted. Not all good images are
based on depictions of idealized beauty. For that image, I think the model
worked out well enough.
Still, I didn't think it would hurt to ask if I could have done anything
differently, to have pleased everyone a bit better. So, I posted my
question to this list.
Wait... What was I thinking?!
THAT'S what I was really doing wrong!
I was hoping to please everyone! :)
Never mind... Problem solved. :)
Thanks, Bob!
take care,
Glen
