Well...




Sorry Mike, I think I am too inarticulate to answer your question, and maybe too short to get it.

But I did want to respond to your reference. First, I do like the cropping that Michele made, especially the movement of the top leaves closer to her head, but I think the first picture with the inclusion of the leaves closer to her face would also be nice and keep the viewer's eyes moving towards the face.

I actually think I prefer the first one. But maybe it is because I like to look at faces so much, and like how her face doesn't have to compete with her blouse, or the background. To me it doesn't come across in a sexual manner at all (but maybe it's because I'm female?). I really love the look on her face and that she looks so confident when maybe not clothed. The light play on her chest is beautiful, and the softness allows her look of confidence to seem subtle and just as a natural moment when she's free and feeling good.

I really like that!
