Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: Nice focus on the most important areas of the subject, but a deeper depth of field would have helped.
Lighting: You did a pretty good job with a harshly backlit situation. You did lose some detail in the bright sky, and that spot really pulls the viewer's eye down toward it.
Composition/Content: I think that you didn't score well because the composition feels very tense. It's almost like I am holding the model up in my mind, and, oddly enough, that makes me want to pass by the photo quickly. I'd also like to see more of the face, especially that eye that is covered by your nose.
My Opinion: I do not believe that this is a sub-5 photograph. If I were scoring this, I would give it a 5 and expect it to finish in the low 5 range. You have a very interesting idea, but the execution could use some improvement. Softer backlight and a bit less shadow would have improved this one a good deal. |
