>>> but would it be possibly to introduce some sort of counteracting element in the background to return the image to balance, without having to crop it so severely?<<<

Lewis, thank you so much for your comment!

I am leaning on counteracting her balance with, perhaps, the arm of a couch, or a box of toys, or maybe showing her sitting on her knees, like she originally was. o idea why I didn't do it in the first place, but I believe i can make it work. The posture and the arms will need to be adjusted accordingly. Oh, thank you for the 'right forearm' comment. I agree, and I am fixing it.

Thanks again!
