Faces of Serangoon

Just experimenting on shooting part of a face...wonder how it works...

Btw, these shots have not been cropped...they're merely resized.

Just some comments.

Nice composition, however the effect might be better if the focusing point is on her eyes?

Isn't it better if the empty spacing is on the right hand side of the 2nd pic, since he is look at that direction?

Hope my 2 cents of inputs help.

To be honest, I quite like the second pic. It's provocative, unconventional and breaking all 'rules' of photography. Giving space to the right would make the picture looks like any other usual cliche shot. Well done

Given a choice, I would lose bit of his top head off until where the hair-parting was. This will give more impact and arrest more attention to the face I think. But still, a cracking shot!

Thanks for the positive comments so far!
Restrained myself from doing any cropping this time round...
Just wondering if anyone noticed the poster for the latest movie "Changing Lanes"? Reminds me of Samuel L Jackson in the poster.
