Wow --- the softness really makes this image. I feel the only thing that really detracts from it is the face seems a little bit over-dodged making it cloudy and just too soft there.
Well done! Very nice softness. It fits the theme. I love how the backlit rain in the windows. The arms don't bother me, except for maybe being a little too bright in the lit areas.
I like the softness in this photo it works well with the subject, her expression is priceless for this moment. The light is good it cast nice soft dramatic shadows on her face. The muted colors work great too, now with that being said.
Her arms are distracting from her face and look too big for her. Along with the shadows under them are extremely harsh. The highlights really hurt here as well; they take away from the somber mood.
Over all I would say this is a just above average photo, around a 6 or 7. You can tell you put thought into it and that is great. Keep up the good work.
I've seen her nefore in another of your entries sitting by the window. Or am I mistaken? I love the soft focus this image has. The expression on her face is perfect. Great image. 6
The very best of the "Rain, rain, go away...' images. Lovely thoughtful young model, terrific rain-on-the-window effect. Nice composition, photography and processing. 7
No doubt this is one of my favourites. Beautiful light window and face. In composition I could suggest that some cropping down the arms would help to improve. Anyway, excelent!!
