This gave me a few problems.

 

First I shot it wrongly and Sally was positioned in the frame in such a way as to make it impossible to get a good crop to put her eye on the third, so I settled for this, and hope it still works. (I wanted to keep all her colourful hair in frame)

 

Secondly an intruding green and white coffee cup in the background needed removing

 

and thirdly....    colour or mono?

love the rich tones in this bugs. really nice in the large view.

if you want to try a conversion, i think b/w would work, however have a go at sepia or duo tone with a sepia or light brown tint.

i think it will look ok and depending on how much tone you use still keep some colout in the hair as well as giving the photo an oldish look.

Yes, the larger version does look very good.

 

i think Geoff's suggestion of a sepia conversion might work, but it'd be such a shame to lose that gorgeous hair colour.

that hair ! those lips ! they are crying out for colour photography why would you want to change it to mono and lose that ? 

 

as for the crop have you tried losing a bit more of the background from the left hand side to have her face fill the frame a little more ? 

[NannyFerret]

Don't lose the red hair.and lips and they are what draws the eye. I love all of it. Nicely done.

[bugmeister]

OK OK I surrender!! The colour stays 

 

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

 

Heather: I did try a more central position but it felt cramped, she is looking off into the distance and with more crop, that distance just isn't there anymore.
