Thanks for the comments.. i know the shot wasn't the best one but i couldn't fix it enough in basic.
Here is an out take for this challenge that i actully like much better.. //www.flickr.com/photos/krisby/6389295857/in/photostream
Beautiful thick hair, I might add, and a very pretty profile. I might not have included "broad back" in my title LOL The image is softer than I would like to see it -- especially the hair should be very well defined, I think. The grain helps but does not completely compensate for the blown out areas. And I find the location of the corner in the background distracting. It like this anyway.
I like the photo. I think the effect would have been greater if she was isolated from the back walls, maybe some more distance...¿?
Anyway congratulations, very nice
she doesn't look that broad to me... maybe a UK size 8 top at most ?? .. nice hair but very harsh lighting on her face and image is rather noisy looking.
I think a bit of sharpening could have really helped this image. I also don't like that the corner of the room awkwardly touches her forehead and chin.
This view is a bit too close to the subject, feels a bit cramped. The highlights are too bright on one shoulder and her upper face as well, plus the focus could be sharper. It's a bit noisy overall. This shot would have been helped by moving further away from her, either lowering the ISO to eradicate that white-out skin glare or upping the shutter for the same reason (which could have also helped with the focus) and denoising a little once the image was transfered to your computer.
