But watch what happens when you cover the white area in the top left corner , try it and you'll see the eyes and expression become stronger. Any improvement on the shot would be to burn that down so it doesn't catch a viewers eyes dragging them away from the face of the subject. Simple test... put your hand on the screen cutting off the white and as you do watch the face and eyes! Bingo!~ Stronger facial expression. If I were to print this, I'd burn down around the outer edges very carefully. This type of all around the edge burning has to be done so carefully a viewer isn't aware you've pulled it down, just sufficient that the eyes concentrate right on the face and are not allowed to drift out the sides of the print. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
