When is it ok to cut off bits of peoples bodies haha. I know in a few of my past pics I have cut off feet and several comments were left that I need to watch out for that, however I have also noticed several peoples pictures who have done the same and have gotten great C&C. How about this picture is this ok or not?
Thank you.
Courtney
P.S C&C welcome on this picture.

    Rule of thumb is "never cut at a joint".

    Head, however, is often sliced and diced at will. Still, I wouldn't recommend cutting half an ear or slicing an eye.

    I don't have a problem with the cut on this image (but I do with it's being generally OOF, since you have apparently focused on the head instead on the eyes)

    You're welcome!

    I normally don't shoot kids, but when I do, I learned that parents are often happy to purchase even the technically challenged picture I'd be ashamed to show anybody who can tell iso from aperture - if they think it's special... ne_nau.gif
