    I like the message in this shot, Jen. The composition isn't working for me though. I can't quite put my finger on why it's not working -- perhaps too much frame around the subject? ne_nau.gif

    This is a Wow! Though it might be more of a Wow! with a square crop, and burned in somewhat. But it's a "Wow!" none the less. clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated. Travis, I intentionally cropped this shot in such a way that I thought would create tension. The balance of the image is ever so slightly off from the "rule of thirds." I could have left a bit more space on the right and bottom, but I felt it started to make the image more pretty than I wanted.

    B.D., I've done a square crop that includes all the elements I like about the shot. It puts the cleaning lady dead centre of the image. I'll post it later today. Thanks for the Wow.

    After another couple views I think my problem with the shot lies in the empty space on the right side. Perhaps B.D.'s square crop suggestion is just the thing to get me on board. :D
