Hey, Tammy congrats on the good finish - Loved the processing - the color tones reminded me of the color tones of the chalk. For me it was always the intense look on the artist face and poise as she works that drew me in.
Great photo. Excellent environmental portrait. Super composition and perspective, even better processing to get it so realistic but with a hint of the medium in which she works. Great stuff. I'll be back to hopefully learn something.
I personally would have cropped this different. I would suggest a 16x9 aspect ratio (to feel more like cinema), and to cut off most of that big white square of paper. Bringing the bottom edge of the crop in right under the subject's hands would help emphasize the nearly perfect line made between hand, hand, knee, and foot. Also, the big white square of paper is brighter than the subject, and grabs attention from her.
Dirty work and I do not understand the crop. Impact or unsound background. And I am not sure I like the crop but would probably have liked the background less.
