OK, I tend to not comment on shots that impact me negatively anymore, because of the backlash. And I do not mean to offend. But I just have to tell you that the first thing that hits me every time I have looked at this is that it is just plain odd to see what looks like a head floating around without a body! The colors are nice and saturated, but, the overall feel of the shot is that it is almost posterized. The lighting feels harsh and unflattering, though this could just be from pushing it to high-key.
For me, had there been less filtering play in a photo editing program, I would have scored it better. To me, her face has this almost...plastic, silly putty kind of look...unatural
Some things I like about this photo would be the vibrant colors and the composition is alright. Some things I might do differently, would be less processing, it almost looks like a painting but not quite. Also, the sunglasses don't really seem to go with the traditional scarf. It's hard to tell due to the editing but it looks like the light might be a little harsh. Placing the subject farther away from the background will help with minimizing shadows.
Photoshop gone bad! What happened...she is a floating head in a bad hankerchief? I really dont mean to be mean, but HELP! It is oversharpened, overprocessed, and really needs some work. I wil take the time to comment cause I feel bad, but please work on this. It prolly had alot of potential.
