First off great shot ! Love the colors and the vintage appeal.
The only thing I would have liked to see is some bending of her right arm. Sure its "candid". But the pose looks more like an air traffic controler.
I love the shallow DOF and the spur-of-the-moment feel to this. Certainly an excellent capture. My only gripe is the softness / slight motion blur in her right arm.
Returning for comment and bump.
Great subject and capture. A wonderful job on the tones and stopped motion.
(one tiny nit...looks like some zaggies on her arms.) Good luck.
This is very nice. Staged or not, it's a great capture and meets the theme of the challenge head on. You've done a wonderful job with exposure and getting a nice sharp image. The color tone selected works quite well and the range is well covered. Congratulations on a job well done!
this is great on so many levels, and for so many reasons. the principal thing is the overall look and style of the shot, makes the whole thing very period. i love the colours, the sett pavings, the way she seems to be levitating. great clothing too. the only slight thing is the weird lighting behind her outstretched arm and the slight halo effect round her back, seems like slightly wrong burning or dodging... but it's a relatively minor thing; overall this is a great example of great, characterful and stylish photography. 9.
beautifully vintage and classic. I only wish she was grinning a little bit, but I'm sure she was frustrated because someone kept telling her to jump off a curb in heels :P
