   I totally prefer it uncropped... like if you were going to display it in your house or something. But I think it looks better cropped, for a website, probably. I do love the photo though, it's amazing    Wish my boobies looked that good    |

   I agree with little bug, for you personally uncropped is great but I like it cropped for advertising.
Gorgeous picture.

   leave it uncropped - nothing wrong with a bit of side boobie    I think it is a very beautiful/natural photo capturing a precious moment between mother & child.  And even though I haven't BF'd since she was 6 weeks old I don't find it "interesting" (in a bad way) at all    |

   I love it both ways! 
 I wouldn't be offended if I saw side boobage in the advertising, but I know a few people that probably would (all of whom have never had kids), so perhaps cropped for advertising, but pull it out more at the left so you can still see your arm cradling your gorgeous wee Lochie. I think that's what makes it all the more beautiful    |

   I agree, I still prefer it uncropped but if you are going to crop it only crop the bottom so we can still see your arm, the mothers embrace is so precious and part of what makes the picture so beautiful and I think it's something we can all relate to whether our babies are BF or FF. |

   Just to add, I think it should only be cropped on the bottom too... I love the arm out the side cradling your baby, it's lovely    |

   thanks everyone,  you have given me the confidence to use this picture!  so cool that i can use it in my own marketing campaigns.
 you are right about including the arm, beause the embrace is the improtant part of the photo.
 
 what the photo doesnt show is the poop and wee that was all over my jeans, and the milk that ended up spraying every where else!!
 
 this was just a home photo taken by my husband.  we hung a black towel over a door to get a clear background.    he was quickly taking snaps at all different angles, got about 20 that were rubbish.  but this one worked!
 
 so i really do encourage everyone to take some great photos of your own!

   Its a great photo, good on you for using it in your advertising, I hope this time round we manage to get some photos half as nice as this. |
