Need Help

This is a work in progress...have not done the normal beauty treatment as yet.
This version is somewhat oversaturated due to the download process, but am wondering about the crop as I don't do people...does the crop work or should I change it. BTW, it's one of my babies.

William, I would crop on both sides especially on the left hand side.
Maybe a tad on the top.

Way too much space all around her. Just tighten everything uo. This is a 16:9 ratio crop.

Beautiful baby, Wm.

I see several possible awesome backgrounds. Mixing them seems a bit busy. The door, using the window, the brick… all cool but maybe in another combination or alone?

The window out of her head looks a bit, um, unseemly. Beautiful lawn too for foreground. I know you didn’t ask about this aspect.

Cool expression, beautiful flowing dress. She is a Sweetie (capital "S"!)

Crop looks fine, agree about the window and dual background (one or the other pattern). Nice smile.

Prefer Manfred's tighter crop William and I agree about the BG but that can be fixed. However, beautiful subject and pose so well worth more effort. he joy really comes across.

I prefer Manfred's crop too

Okay, I hear you, tighter crop...I can get rid of the door, window will be harder but doable.
Can I keep the slab and the wall?

PS...I have some ugly expression shots of her on the grass...might placing her on grass be better?

Beautiful image of a gorgeous lady!

I like the crop but not the loss of the wispy bits of her beautiful dress. I like it cropped just a wee bit on the right hand side, keeping the grass (layers, and matching patches of grass on each side of the image) and the bottom of the dress.

Hi William, if you are up to cloning, you could take some of the brick on the right and clone it over the window to simplify the background. Lovely capture, great expression on her face!

I like Manfred's crop.

I've made the door and window go-away, quite well I might add.
Should I keep her on the slab or place her on the lawn?

That may depend on what is in the background with the grass and how realistic you can make the shoes and dress blend with the grass William. If you keep her on the slab, I would consider removing the small patches of grass so that your eye isn't drawn towards those two green areas.
