Thanks to all of you for the cropping feedback. You are right.

Wondering if I could find a larger, cleaner version of that photo, I back tracked it to the server and found some gems. My God man, are these all your daughters? I think I would build a really big fence around my house if I was responsible for these beauties:
The one in the middle is just a friend. The other two are twins. Sometimes I wish a fence would work!
There mother (my wife) is a former swimsuit model with national TV and a magazine cover on her bio. Let's just say that I am a very lucky man!

Did I do a better job of cropping on this one? I was trying to take a picture of our new convertible, but I realize that it is hard to see the car

Love the mix this thread brings to the table

The wife and I went up to NYC for the day. While she shopped, I played with the camera. Got only a few decent candid shots, this by far being the best of the day.
I liked that it hinted at what she was doing, without making it the focus of the shot.

James, I really like it. Has a timeless sense to it. Not just the hat, but the pose as well. In photos from earlier periods, no one smiled when posing. It leaves the viewer with a sense of mystery, wondering what thoughts are occurring behind those captivating eyes. And Megan is cute too

Thanks nwoods. She doesn't like me taking pictures without her knowing, but I like candids. So I was half-hiding behind clothes racks trying to get little snapshots.
She didn't really like the shot, because she said she looks angry. Her first comment was "do I run around looking angry all the time?!" She prefers to smile in pics.
I think it could have been a little better if she was looking directly into the camera, but close enough - and I couldn't get that without her knowing I was shooting.
