Hello.
I cropped this shot using the rule of thirds, at least I think I did. Just curious if others think the crop helps this picture as much as I think it does.
Thanks.

I think you've done well with the crop to put your model's head at or around the third line.

Cropping to a square might work as well.

Oh yes - the new crop is much better. Good shot, too, by the way.

I think a square crop would work here as well

The crop's spot on.

For the fun of it, you could also consider cropping it like this:

I agree with Ursula that your crop is spot on but here's a different option with the same idea Ursula had by putting the girl on the left side of the shot (so that she has space in front of her) but with the sky included and less of the sand. Just my take but I like both yours and Ursulas crop too. I guess it's all a matter of taste really.

I like this crop the most of all of them, you have a bit of everything and space in front of the child rather than behind.
