Closer

I do love it like this:) it's very different from this crop non?
it look good that way too. i'm just too obsessed with strict 3x2, 4x3 and 1x1 in all of my photos. and i love empty space from the photo itself too :)
lol! kinda like me and 9x6 :)
Closer by kktp_.

Stephen, most adjustments were done in Lightroom (saturate down, clarity up++) then noise clean up in photoshop.
