Cut her head off.

I actually broke two rules here (I guess I'm just a rebel). Not only did I crop her head, but the focus is on her skin rather than her eyes. At the time I wanted to echo and balance the texture and highlight on her skin with the texture and highlight on the black leather sofa on the right, but now I realise how truly wrong that was,
Along with the "rule of thirds", I was instructed to have my subject facing "into the picture", not out of the picture...I just liked this more.
