The 24"x36" portraits look fine and normal. It's wonderful to see the wide variety of styles and positions and things to sit on in all the samples you display. People are so much fun to look at when captured forever in one moment. Makes me want to start painting portraits!, Ann Anne I love your blog, When do you sleep?

I agree that placement is a fascinating consideration and have noticed that empty central space with pictorial elements occuring on the perifiry seems a particularly tricky balance for people to adjust to. We have such strong conditioning to read the content of an image, I would hazard the option that this comes before viewing visual dynamics yet composition is central to the timbre of a portrait. By the way, I shall send you a higher resolution image and hope that we correspond more. Kind regards Marilyn Bailey Dear Anne
