 i haven't entered in a while and i'm totally entering this photo on a whim. it was an outtake from a photo project i was doing for school and i thought that it fit the challenge! i'm still having editing issues though :/ it seems as though whenever i save for web it just DRAINS the color from the photo, so to avoid that i kind of over exaggerated in my editing. i'm hoping that helps it? i need to get this figured out! it still never looks the same as it does in photoshop ):

Thank you so much again Alice! I am definetly having editing issues. I'm looking at the photo on my computer at school and it looks SO yellow/orange! Very different than what shows up on my screen at home. I guess I'll have to just keep playing around until I get it right. And thanks for the heads up, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to get rid of the sensor mark in basic.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hey, Alex! We meet again. I still remember your bouncing bed image that was SO much fun. You are definitely a People Photographer so keep that up. Please do. While you still could use some work on the technicals, that will come with more image-making and more processing practice.

Yes, as your competition comments indicate, white balance was a problem here and the darks were overshadowed by the harsh flash. Still the expression of your model was priceless and well worth the rest. One easy thing I can point out: it looks as if you have a sensor dust bunny in the lower right portion of the frame. It is okay to close out sensor dust in Basic.

Keep entering those quirky pictures of yours. They are refreshing and fun.

Alice

Great idea, and a good try, but has some problems. White balance seem off and causing a severe yellow cast. I'm not sure if the shadow on the wall was intended or not, but I find it takes my eye away from the subject. I do love the look on her face.

I love the expression on her face. The lighting is a bit weird for me.
