Hi,
Maybe it is a silly question, but I am extremely confused. I have been staring on this picture, but can't come to the point. Is it better to send full, or cropped version?

full


cropped


As for me the cropped one looks better, but maybe the full version has higher stock potential?

I like more the cropped version of your image. I don't know why, it's a personal opinion. Nice shot!

There are two visions on what to send.
A. Send a picture from which a buyer can make as much as possible (keep opportunities to use it open). In this vision you best send the not-cropped.
B. Send the picture ready to use. Than the cropped is better. It is in the way it will be used most probably.

Whatever is said theoretical.... In microstock the practice is vision 2. The cropped is more of interest and has the best composition. I consider the uncropped even has the risk to become denied because of that.

I'm sorry to have to say...microstock is mostly about easy, cheap and quick...and not about much considerention and great visions.  Wink Shocked

I don't know what size you are working with, but if cropping drops you from say... an XL to an L, I'd send the uncropped version. 

From my view, her head looks distorted on the upper right corner of the cropped version.

I think exactly the same way. But I want to add that you did great job Smiley And one small advice.... shrink it to 4Mpic or close to it...just for any case Wink

Send both versions. But not at the same time, let's say after 3-6 months. Maybe an another background color for a version could be good (Hue/saturation). My experience with croped/uncropped images is that both are needed but the cropped version has more selling potential (simply because at thumbnail size a buyer can see better the image content?).
