I liked how he stretched his neck up- Does this crop work?

[Gus Cobos]

I like the details and color rendition Lady Denise,
Never seen one with a stretched neck before...:eek: I like the full eye contact...Suggestion: I would add 1/4 canvas to the left side of the frame to balance the composition out; following the slanting contour of the body to the right...well done...looking forward to some more...:cool:
