Daniel: I was lucky. Katya likes the picture. This is an exception to the First Law of Nature you cite, that women never like their pictures. I hope this does not cause a crack in the space-time continuum or negate Relativity or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Seriously, Katya often likes pictures I take of her. But posting her in profile or with hair beyond a minimal level of disorder are often strictly prohibited. Anyway, she couldn't decide which crop she liked either. The original frame is wider, and shows some surroundings. She likes that, too. She often prefers more context to "When in doubt, crop it out." I really like the way the rock looks on the far right, which is why I made that version with her off to the left. But I can't decide between the more traditional centered composition and the leftward placement. --Peter > Peter, I like the rock you get by putting her on the left. She might be a bit too far left though. > You could ask her, but she'd probably tell you it is a lousy picture (women NEVER like their pictures) so don't do that.
