Very nice image, definately different from many of the entries. The overall composition is very good as is the focus. This definately meets the challenge and very well portrays someone working.
There really isn't a lot you could do differently other than maybe bring her out of the shadows some it gets to dark to the left side and her shoulder blends in with the background cause of it.
Really nice shot! At first, I thought it was a bit too dark, but upon reflection...it seems just about right. Wild knife! (What is she chopping??) 9 Rob the Swash
Excellent dissipating tones around the main subject. Small point, but the item behind her left hand distracts a little and knocks the depth out of balance, even though it's blurred. Well done all the same - 9
This is a great photo. The tones and clarity are all really good. The meat or whatever it is she's chopping tho seems a bit out of focus, and blown out.
Very nice photo! Definately someone at work. I'm curious as to what she is cutting. I like how she is smiling, like she's proud to have her picture made. The yellow tapestry in the background is a little distracting, but other than that, a well put together picture. 9 Good luck in the challenge.
Picture appears a bit dark. The meat is well lit, but the dark clothing tends to blend into the dark background a bit much for me. Otherwise a very good and interesting photo. 8
Simply beautiful. I like that she's smiling while she's working. Beautiful worn knife, great focus on the meat she's chopping and her with unobtrusive background. There's nothing I would change.
I can't say enough good things about this photo. It's photos like this that keep me coming back here (and also from never possibly winning.....jk) If this doesn't take first place I'll be quite surprised.
