First Photo Sold - Woohoo!

I just lost my photo selling virginity! Can I say that?

About twice a week for the past three weeks, I've been heading down to the skate park on North Shore and take pictures of the random people skateboarding and hand out business cards. That night, I dump everything onto my computer, make some minor adjustments and load them up to Smugmug under a date specific gallery.

For the most part, people simply look at the sight and from what I can tell are content with seeing their photos with watermarks all over them. I took a sequence of this little kid doing this powerslide on one of the smaller transitions and I guess he and his mom were stoked on it enough to order.

I'm in the process of cropping the picture as they ordered one 8x10. I'm thinking of cropping the area behind his left elbow out of the picture. At any rate, here is the photo . I know...nothing to write home about, but I'm happy.

I'd crop mainly down the left side, and perhaps just a little off the bottom, to move the subject towards the top left hand corner of the cropped image as far as practical. Is that what others think?
