I took this one yesterday too. I cropped it just a little on the right, but was wondering about that thirds thing. Should I have this picture more centered? Or is it a good placement where it is now? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Leigh

actually, the rule of thirds is to keep things away from the center, as it causes the eye to wander. Me thinks its fine dear. lol, gotta love the wrist rolls.

If you love them rolls, you should see the rolls on her ankles. Ankles? What ankles...She is a chunky baby that is for sure. And I love it. Now mommy has tons and tons of rolls...Not cute on mommys...LOL Leigh

Another nice picture, I would not worry about the thirds rule on this and crop the left-hand side its a bit empty and I feel it makes the picture unbalanced. Now you say you have cropped the right do you not feel this makes the picture tight in on her foot? Love her eyes nice catch light and the hat just adds that bit of colour. I like picture #1 from your other post nice and clean and soft just as babies should be and the fact she is in the centre just adds to the strength of the picture.

Another cute one! I would agree with mysnapz on this I think there is a bit too much empty space on the left and not enough on the right..... :~)

Crystal makes a very beautiful hat model. :-) The hat brings the blue of her eyes out even more! (*

The hat and the eyes match beautifully in this pic. I agree with mysnapz on the cropping thing.
