    I'd keep it an crop from the bottom. Some eye doctor work as detailed in Digital Basics might help.

    Troy, I'd keep it too. I like the colors of the water in the upper half very much. Another vote for some eye work. I might try to pull a smidgen more detail out of the darks if it were mine. Good job getting this FF. You guys are lucky to have nice water color for your backgrounds.

    Hi Troy - agree with the above advice - catchllight will improve a lot!! For my personal tastes a little too much negative space on the bottom also.
    Nice!
