I have got behind with my image posting in the past few weeks, but here's one from my recent trip to Dorset.

Like the smile(?)
There's a bit of white space on the top border; I'm wondering if it will distract the viewer?

Maybe. I did not have much choice about excluding the background and I have cropped out what I can, as well as applying a vignette. It could probably do with a bit more burning in and other changes, which I will probably do if it ever becomes a competition shot.
I am just wondering how many people will be disappointed by the image having been attracted by the title.

Trying to remove light patches is always a problem. I'm experiencing that in my Kew shots. That's the problem with foliage - there are always gaps for the light to spoil a shot.
I like 'She's a Doll' anyway - I think it's the wry smile.

If I do take this shot further, I might be tempted to clone out the light area at top left and burn in the patch at top right.
Glad that you like the shot. She is quite fetching.
