Good color. I'm guessing...low end camera? There are details in this shot (see her t-shirt), but many details are lacking (see teeth). The black face is a difficult subject (hard to bring out details). The glare on her shoulder is a touch harsh, too. 6 Rob the Swash
Nice choice of subject and magazine. I love the girl's smile--nice capture. The whole image looks quite blurry, so sharpening it up would really improve it.
The image looks a little blurry and out of focus, probably due to camera shake from being taken handheld. The resolution also seems a little low, suggesting to me that it was possibly taken with a low-end camera. If that is the case then it is usually best to take shots with the highest possible resolution. I do like the light on her face and the side of the sheep, though. Another possible reason for the focus problem could be the dark face of the sheep compared to the bright face of the girl. The composition is good, although maybe a little extra space on the side of the sheep so it doesnt look like his ear is cropped off would have worked good too.
The depth of focus here is a little too shallow, with the sheep in focus but the girl not quite - especially as my eye goes first to the girl (since the lighting is more dramatic on her than on the sheep's black face), it makes the picture look a bit awkward.
Blurry and too bright. Not sure how a crop would end up looking if photo was too large or wrong dimensions, so possibly too-far cropped (and small). Topically it seems fine.
Cute capture - lovely girl and animal. Seems perhaps a bit oversharpened? Or perhaps that's severe .jpg compression. But I can totally see this on the cover of a 4-H magazine if that were corrected.
