This is a beautiful entry to the "Bubbles" challenge, right on the mark as far as meeting the challenge, a fun image.
Positives: The feel, it sells the image. The girl looks like she's enjoying the bath and the bubbles all to pieces, "bliss" is the perfect description for this. The strong, yet gentle approach.
Negatives: It looks overly neat-imaged - too much detail lost. Crop.
Technicals: I see no problems with your exposure, and the conversion to B/W is beautiful. As mentioned above, a bit heavy on the neat-image. There seem to be some sharpening artifacts (slightly distracting).
Presentation: Image and title go together perfectly. B/W is a very good choice for the image. IMO, the image would be stronger if it were cropped a bit tighter on the right side, that is, if about 1/10 - 1/8 of the space at the right hand side of the image (her left shoulder) were cropped off.
I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if I can be of further help.
I really like this. It's fun yet gentle and the tones are nice. I like the motion blur of the bubbles in the top left. It is a real shame about the loss of detail in the foam on her shoulder. I would have cropped the image just above that point to get rid of the distraction. If it wasn't for that one thing I think this picture would do much better.
cool! even if there is lots to say about the technical side of this picture, it is however one of my fav. in this challenge. Her expression is wonderful. Good luck! 8
This is a great composition, and the smile on the model's face is quite natural and relaxed; the one detraction is that (on my monitor at least) this image seems to be sharpened too much. You still get a high score from me, but the sharpening artifacts keep me from giving it a 10 - started at 7, bumping to an 8.
