Nice shots. I would give a lot more head room and not cut off the tops of the subject head.

There will be a time you may want a 8x10 print and you have no place to go when you shoot that tight. As you make larger prints it auto crops so to say.

Leave the room or take a safety shot with breathing room.

You definitley have a point. Your suggestion is well taken. Thanks for commenting..

You bet, options are always nice to have.

I had another look at Ben's pictures and don't agree, an old argument, the cut off parts of the head issue.

I would prefer a tighter crop since it changes the fov, prefer a more intimate view. Grab any glossy magazine the world has on offer and see how liberal the cropping goes.

To the OP: worth a re-visit!

Cropping has become very unorthodox these days and offer far more intimate appeal. I have seen loads of tightly cropped fashion shots with unequivocal charm. So there you go Mr Bensherman I find your cropping to be just fine. Lovely shots of beautiful kid.
