Thanks Attila! Hmm, space around the face? I'll keep that in mind, I'm taking more today.
The style of cropping the face very close in is typical style of Actor's headshots - maybe I'll post some not-cropped versions _________________ Daros K.

The problem is that it is a bit too little cropped, makes it look like a mistake. If your cropping a head, do it even more. A trick that sometimes been used, ive been told and found is quite good as a rule, is to try to keep atleast one eye on the diagonal from one of the top corners. I think you have done that on #1 and #5 and those works quite good with the crop I think. #1 needs a wee bit more though _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |
