Is it just me?

LOL, I can guarantee right now, if I had left any more room abover her head (there is well over 1cm which on a picture of this size is pretty big) I'd have loads of people on here saying 'I think you should crop some of the dark area at the top!'
I am one of the people who believes we should let our subjects have expansion space so I have given what I felt was a fair border of space around her but I guess different eyes see it differently so maybe a bit more space would work too. I did loads of shots of her with her head in the more usual position of upright and some with a slight tilt but this was looking for something completely different. Anyway, interesting to see differing views. Portraits are great for bringing out different ideas as we all see them in different ways.
Thanks for your comments and input, all very helpful and thought-provoking.
Cheers,
