Thanks for the suggestions... I have re-cropped it and put it back. Not sure what I think yet. I liked the whitespace because I thought it gave more of a floating "dreamy" look. But overwhelmingly not. :-) Thanks!

Only because everybody else is talking about the crop did I think of this odd idea: same frame size and same magnification, just more white on the bottom instead of on the top. The title (Dream State) and Bong's photo "Sunset" in challenge 6 made me think of this. In Bongs photo the sun was low - so he composed his shot with the sun low in the frame (see here:http://www.pbase.com/image/24736061). "Dream State" I thougt, is somewhat Heavenly and Angelic and from there I got my odd idea. Don't know if it would work - take it for the brain-storm kind of idea it was, OK? --Olaf

Hi Jim ! It's been a long time !!! great work on highkey and colors. Cropping is not perfect IMO, I'll try to work on it and make propositions ... JLN

Great high-key portraits. I love all the happy faces. However, I think there's too much negative space all around especially at the top.
