Due to convincing arguments to show the other crop .....

First I want to thank those who have giving me so many good tips regarding the glare in the glasses and other comments such as foot placement etc.
With that out of the way, I should say that several requested that I present the White Tee shot of Kristie, with a different crop... Well, as I moved the crop back out, I did not like the chair arms...and one thing led to another and here is a re-edited image, fresh out of Photoshop.
Thanks again
John

I can understand how you are focussing (your attention) on certain aspects of the setup at the time of capture, but in review you get to contemplate all the other niggly details that you overlooked. As the photo now stands I find it bothersome that she is not centred on the chair, and while you were able to edit out the arms of the chair I don't think you can recenter her on the seat. This is just one of those things that you have to consider first before you zero in on the model's pose, expression, etc. Get the mundane out of the way, and then have fun shooting.

Thank you Bob
John, I sat at my desk last night wondering how I missed that (her off centered in the chair) .. It was probably because its a swivel desk chair and most of the images captured had a slight spin to the base ... To be honest, the infatuation I had with this photo.... Was her pose of her head and hair .... It would have been a favorite if she was wearing a blouse and blazer too.
Thanks for the comments

Hey, John, it is VERY EASY to understand how you missed her being off centre in the chair. It was not the first thing I noticed when looking at the photo, and it would not have been the first thing I would have noticed had I been taking the photo. You are forgiven... but don't let it happen again, ya hear???

Man, what are you implying? ..... Are you suggesting that my focus may not be 110% on creating good art? ... Are you possibly suggesting that my mind may drift somewhat during a shoot? Well, I assure you, it does not.... I stay 100% focused and my mind is clear... sorta... kinda...most times... at least 50% of the time ... well maybe not all the time with this model... Ok damnit, I probably did not know what I shot until the next day! haha

You're a good man. The first step to rehabilitation/improvement is recognizing your problem and admitting to your weakness.
But given the circumstances of your "problem" I hope you never become so focussed on the technical aspects that you do not notice, admire, appreciate and enjoy the finer attributes of your subject. After all, photography should be fun regardless of whether it is your hobby or your profession.
Keep shootin' them lovelies!!!

Firstly; nicely lit John... a good even spread of light with no obtrussive shadows. The chair is an immediate issue but that has been covered. A grizzle would be her expression - she just looks slightly peeved to me. Not as in posed peeved but as in not quite knowing what to do. It's always difficult with posing and expressions and the most effective images are those where the subject is engaged with the photographer (camera) in some way as it brings out their personality and mood. Of course it is always difficult to see a final image when looking through the viewfinder as it is all to easy to miss those fine details - an intrussive hair, creased elbow, cropped foot. In that way the camera shows no mercy and produces only what it sees, so planning/visualising ahead is very important. Nice shot by the way; and with a few minor considerations this could be a a really good image.

You and she have tons of potential! This is MUCH better. The ink gives her an edge that the pretty, innocent and girlish face would belie. I love that she's shaved. Again, she has tons of potential, and I just love her look.

That's a nice pair of, ummm, glasses she has!

Thank you... Each of you, for the recent comments. I've been unable to spend much time here these last couple of days ...
I have much more I could post of Kristie, but I may change it up and pull an older image out of the hat soon.
Thanks
John

When looking at details note the thigh-high stockings aren't close to being even, which in this symmetrical photo they should have been.
