sleeping beauty and her buddy

This is a beautiful shot, but much better if rotated 90o clockwise.

hmmm, rotation of 90 degrees...maybe...i tried in my iphoto gallery, but i like the present orientation. i am standing bedside and it just works better for me this angle.thank you for taking the time to look at the image and for your insight. the bit of blur is compliments of a 1/4 second exposure with my mamiya6...i am pleasantly surprised it turned out this well. thank you for your kind and gebnerous words. breathe, relax and enjoy.smiling gecko, aka kennethwww.neverforgetbeslan.org

Nice shot, but I have to agree with Clive: a 90-degree rotation would help the viewer focus on the faces.

Love it. +1 for the rotation though

I like it the way it is. After all, she's sleeping. I like the soft focus - it adds to the beauty of the subject and the sleeping theme.

thank you Robert Ridyard & EASmithV & bsdunek for your responses!!! i truly appreciate the time and thought and consideration you gave this image. soooo, i went back into my iphoto gallery, rotated it the suggested 90 degrees....and it doesn't work for me. the rotated version was not the way i saw the scene. for me, the original landscape orientation seems to match the subjects as they sleep. browsed through each of your galleries (need to go back when it's not the end of the day and i'm not pooped)....and really liked Robert's "hand held 4x5 at it's best" (this makes me want to start using my crown graphic again!!!), EAs's "walkabout " (great timing and awareness) and bsd's "king-kone" (pure whimsy, have one of those near me). as a whole, your images reflect you know what you are talking about and how to express it in the images you create. thank you again.
