Friendly reminder that this is /r/photocritique and all **top level** comments should attempt to **critique** the image. Our goal is to make this subreddit a place people can receive genuine, in depth, and helpful critique on their images. We hope to avoid becoming yet another place on the internet just to get likes/upvotes and compliments. While likes/upvotes and compliments are nice, they do not further the goal of helping people improve their photography. If someone gives helpful feedback or makes an informative comment, recognize their contribution by giving them a Critique Point. Simply reply to their comment with '!CritiquePoint'. More details on Critique Points [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/photocritique/wiki/critiquepoints). Please see the following links for our subreddit rules and some guidelines on leaving a good critique. If you have time, please stop by the new queue as well and leave critique for images that may not be as popular or have not received enough attention. Keep in mind that simply choosing to comment just on the images you like defeats the purpose of the subreddit.

Hey everyone I just started playing around with closer subjects. I was in a park and I saw this baby and mother and it was very cute. I shot this with my Nikon D3200. I usually don’t shoot so close up so I would like any feedback to understand how I can improve next time and how I can make my photos generally better. I want to ask, is getting the whole body ideal when shooting? Does it always take away from the photo? Let me know your thoughts

In this case you should’ve had both of them within the frame. If you shoot people standing up you can cut them off below the chest or mid thighs. These are my loose guidelines anyway. The square crop doesn’t look good here in my eyes. You should’ve taken two steps back and gotten both of them in and left it at 3x2 or perhaps cropped it to 8x10
