Olena,

I certainly agree with all the prior advice about getting control over the selection process. Rotating the image is a good suggestion, as show.

My biggest concern though would be the girl's head and expression. Personally, I would find it pretty close to impossible to reinvent her positioning so that her head doesn't look like it's floating on the boy's shoulder, not connected to her body. Her wide-grinned expression would likewise present a problem, at least for me.

You say you cannot do another photo shoot. Are there other possibilities for the girl from the photos you did take? I wouldn't hesitate to tell the client that a particular image is indeed beautiful, but should remain a lovely photograph. Even after the initial selection.

Olena,

I agree that , if, in any way, you can get another photo session with the clients, you should go for it. It will be a lot easier to use references that are dead on.

Chris,
I know what you are saying.......

After all I took more time to adjust the picture. Dos this make any difference in your opinion?

Olena, Here is a quick thought (you can see how rudimentary my P S skills can be!)

Chris and Allan, thank you so much.
I took your advice and braved myself to talk to the client. I had a chance to take some more pictures of the girl at list. It
