I like this one quite a bit as it has a more raw natural look to it. When I first saw the image, my window was partly scrolled down which had the effect of cropping her head just below the front hairline, and to me, that really made her face exude a natural but sensual glow.

I agree with JMR. In fact, I think the ideal crop is about midway between the top of the photo and her eyebrow line. I think it provides a symmetry with the current cut at the shoulderline.

That's a stunning image of a stunningly beautiful woman Eric. Even more so with the crop.

The first is a more gentle rounded beauty that has a real natural quality with the tilt of her head. An almost naive look. The second is very good but is a tighter crop which gives her a dynamic quality with the oblique lines of her face, neck and hair. But it does not have the naive natural look as in the first. They are both good, it's just that I noticed this dynamic when I was scrolling. The unconcious at work, I guess. Well done, and as you know, each crop can convey something different.

I agree with the crop advise regarding the forehead, but keep it widescreen. So basically don't change the width, just the height. You can preview the effect simply by scrolling on this page.

Great shot! Crop and tilt is definitely better as it accentuates her eyes.
