No comments so I will add one for you.
I honestly don't feel this shot deserved such a low score. You have even lighting with no clipping of shadows though there are no major highglights. The model is pleasing and pleasant and her pose is good with the hand grabbing something a nice touch. You got good DoF and the tree adds interest with a nice line and acts as framing in the composition. The technicals of the camera work are all good. Exposure, color, focus, DoF, composition... all good work.
I can't remember what you're using for software, but the PP is a little lacking in contrast. Try to adjust your black point a touch lower and bring your whites up a touch more. You can do that by adjusting highlights and shadows or through a curves adjustment or even by levels. The shot may be a hair soft but it is a sharpness issue and not a focus issue. It could be brought up in PP.
I would have voted this a 6 and I feel the score should be more in the 5.5 - 5.7 range.
Well Done! |
