Reply To: Am I a fauxtog? (crossing fingers) That I'm not*

The flower photo does not work for me because of the sharp edge of the leaf against the blur to the right of it.  It might look better at a different size, but as shown, I find it the focal point and jarring.  I suspect the purple flower should be the focal point but it is hard to get my eye over there.

I know you intended to take the photo of the woman at an angle.  I’m just not much of a fan of that.  Sometimes it works really well, but if you can figure out the camera was tilted, then usually the image would be stronger if the camera were level.

Tinypic does not look like a good place to display photos.  The ad on the left is competing with your photo, and winning!  Try a Flickr account, it is free, has a reasonable upload allowance for a free account and once you have uploaded there, you can include the photo here easily.  If you are not fond of Flickr, there are lots of others that are better than Tinypic.
