I Cut Her Arms Off... What Crop Would You Suggest?

[ilovelucydog]

I cut Shannon's arms off. Do I leave it as is or is there a crop that would suit the image better?
Tye and Shannon won't notice either way. (This is not the correct file... but it'll do for this purpose)

Hi Mary, Given the pose, I wouldn't be concerned about his arms. In fact, if you decided to include them you might need to do a full lenth shot and loose the intimacy of this crop. After all, where would you stop? Include the arms and cut off the legs? I think the only other crop I'd consider would be something like the following, BUT, for me, I like your crop better.

Or this crop where it still shows how Shannon is holding his arms.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll play around with the images I have and see what works.

Glue them back on...sheese!

I'd reverse and make a mirror image, maybe even do the bottom portion black and white or as a negative.

I can't! She flew out first thing yesterday morning and is safely back in Minnesota.
