"Unusual" framing

Yuri Pautov

Priviet, dear friends!
Want to know your opinion about this photo - do you think this cut is too ... too "unusual". I was making "close-up" portrait and framed this shot this way advisedly...


Spasibo,

Yuri,

I have a problem with her left eye ... maybe just a bit more.

Nice photo, Yuri. I am not crazy about the framing, but neither do I hate it.

it's a beautiful photo, and I love close crops,
but my reaction says that this one needs a little more space near her left eye.. even if it's just a tiny bit.. just so that it doesn't cut off her lashes.

Hi Yuri,

I feel like it stretches her face too much on viewers right.

Hi Yuri, so nice to see you. Another stunning photo, I would have known it was yours, even without your name. Yes, I'd probably crop just a small bit more to the right. Either that or crop more of the eye off like at where the iris meets the white. Then she's really staring at you more. [seems to me anyway]

I like it, There's something about the tight crop on someones face that catches my eye. Maybe it's the mystery of what's outside of the crop or what's behind the expression.

I love this Yuri, it works well in this case. It's always fun to see stuff from you. Thanks for sharing!

I like tight crops sometimes Yuri. It stands out and close crops always seem so honest. Her skin is so beautiful, did you edit it a lot?
