    I think the first shot displays the theme best and grabs my attention the most. The only thing I think would be a little better is if there was more room on the right side. Her hand just seems to close to being out of frame. Maybe you could clone some more background from the left side of the picture to give her more space? Other than that, I think it's a great shot.

    15524779-Ti.gif - they all seem a little soft but that's being picky. Her right hand being too close to the bottom of the frame bothers me most - a bit of cloning can easily fix that.

    Agree with the above. #1 with extension of the right side of the frame.
    Nice shots.

    Thanks all. That tight crop was deliberate so I have some room to back out on the right side based on all your comments. Appreciate the suggestions.

    I like #2...It has more "emotion" to it...
    You're only as good as your next photo....
    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    Oh! Now that you say it was deliberate, I can see that you were probably trying to make it feel more like she's pressed up against the sides of the box. With your explanation, I like the tight crop now, but not sure that the judges would get it on their own.

    I really like all three shots! Since you have both face and hands in all three - I figure you might as well go all out, so I voted for #1. Looks like you had fun! Are these SP's?

    Best of Luck.

    I voted for #2 sad, but it was a hard choice. I thought they all had their strong points. Good idea!

    The votes are always this close when I post a poll. Sigh. I appreciate all the comments.

    Not a SP, this is a friend of mine the actress who actually knows mime stuff. rolleyes1.gif
