I think that type of cropping works much better if you cut off way more, down to the mid-forehead, so it looks like a composition and not an accident.
I think the idea is to focus in on the eyes, and put them nearer the upper one-third line instead of the center, so it should work better when the eyes are expressing some emotion and it's not just a posed portrait shot. |
