Gap Girl (b/w)

She echoes my mood today, so why not show it?!

If you look at this photo and cannot smile, then something is really, really wrong.

It looks like she's wearing some kind of burka though you can't really tell. If she is there's an argument that says a less tight crop would make a more interesting - and maybe even more charming - picture.

I think it is a wonderful photo. She is a perfect representative of all gappy six year olds the world over. Wouldn't change a thing.

[Ruthless Critiques] I agree with zorilla: less crop; I'd like to see more of her cheeks.

RC: I like the tight crop because I get to focus on the eyebrows and the laugh lines and the tilt back of the head - etc. With more face, I wonder if all those elements would be so much in the foreground.

Absolutely not bothered by the crop, I think it works well tight. Great tones, great moment, nice grab. It almost looks like the RC icon!

[ruthless critique] I find photos like this to be so fatiguing...it's so nice and inspirational that I feel like I'm being lied to, like a "enjoying your fucking bowl of cherries" sort of thing.

RC. technically and formally a beautiful photo. i think the crop serves well to repeat the squished feel of the tounge through the teeth. overall i'm personally not drawn to this image much. it is just like a lot of other images i've seen of cute kids.

Though overall, I like the tight crop, the more I look at it, I can't help but wonder how much she's genuinely smiling and how much she is forcing a smile or perhaps it's some other expression all together. This leads me to think I'd like to see a bit more of her cheeks so we can see how far that "grin" goes.
