Lighting balance is not kind. Too light on the whites, not enough on the darks. ( Good choice to expose properly on the darks giving detail to the shadows rather than the detail in the whites. )
Use of a frontal light or strobe (fill flash) with a lower exposure would have given detail in the whites while properly exposing the shadows.
Great image, hurt by some blow outs, but not enough to ruin the image's impact. Honorable mention, for subject, arrangement and finesse. |
