Possible Finals and Crops

                                                          This is the original photograph.

 

This is a slightly closer cropping.  I dislike this cropping because the dimensions make the photograph look too condensed.

 

 

This is more of a sqaure crop.  I quite like this crop, but I feel that the original still is my favourite as the lines of her arms which I have cropped out, create more shape and line in the image.

 

This is a square crop just of the face overall.  I feel this doesn't work as it just looks like I have cut her head off of the body.

This is the original image.

 

This is a square crop of the model's face.  I feel that without the hand the image has not much depth and is a bit limp.

 

This is an extreme close-up of the model's face.  As close-up portrait the contrast and detail of the image really gives a closer look at the lines and shapes within the image, but I feel the original is still better because of more negative space with the black backdrop.

This is a slightly more centered crop.  I feel that the slightly off centre original adds a line of composition throughout the image.

 

 

 

Evaluation:  I decided to go for the originals for finals on all of the images because I felt the crops didn't improve any of the photographs overall.
