I have been shooting Latex this weekend with a couple of new models, one of them is Jessy and now the debate is "do I select the crop or not".

    I think to crop or not would depend on it's use. I love both, but they show me two different aspects of this lovely lady, either of which is beautiful.

    I think the only way to know for sure is for me to come be your assistant for a month and re-shoot to decide. :D

    Depends on the use you need, but I really like the full image. Exceptionally bright and just pops off the screen. The detail in the red material is really nice, and the overall processing is top notch.

    My vote would be both depending on use, but cropping tighter on the first one.

    At first look I prefer the full body image. Still, if we needed to have ad copy then # 2 would be the choice for the negative space to the right of her head (which I would never get to - Laughing.gif) unless it was a double page spread.

    Either one is really nice.

    +1

    The second, however, offers the possibility of what the pic would've looked like with no checkerboard in frame and thus makes me wonder if you took any such pics?

    A quick shuffling around of 1 in a reduced size browser window to crop out all of the chess board gives (me) a fair idea of the result - which I prefer.

    A slightly lower pov would also have removed the background bit of chessboard behind the peaks of red matl, frame L and also the red material at the base of the triangle formed by her lower legs, thus removing the only bit of detail that detracts from an otherwise very clean silhouette.

    Now I am not a fashion/portrait photographer but to me, the first image has areas that my eye travels to. One is the face (of course) but the other is the shoes since they are bright, they are red and they are surrounded by negative space. If the intention is to highlight the latex then definitely number 1 but if the highlight is the model then my choice is number 2. Just my two novice cents.

    All that said, both shots are really really good!
