Aww, cute! Yeah, definitely pop. I remember when people were totally mad about those things. And I love the depressed, homeless-looking dog.

Wow, stunning! I'm very jealous of the location.

Composition-wise, I would've preferred to see the sun and the people to the right rather than in the centre, but then, I've no idea what the rest of the surroundings looked like, so it might not have worked. I'm also surprised you didn't edit some of the strange pink sunspots in the top left corner. Otherwise - god that's gorgeous. I wish I was in Hawaii!

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Yay for having something other than just a chain in a photo :)

Interesting photo. Cute model - I love her smile. I can't quite place it, but there's something slightly Sarah Jessica Parker-esque about her expression. And I'd ignore the comment about the teeth, I think she looks nice and natural rather than post-processed to death. Good lighting.

I think the angle is good (the fact that you have to tilt your head to really get her facial expression actively draws the viewer into the picture). However, there seems to be something slightly off-balance about the composition... I think it's the fact that there seems to be a bit too much space above her - maybe telling her to lower her arm a bit, then cropping the photo more tightly would have improved it. Also, the bit on the right where the lines stop and the wall starts doesn't quite seem to fit in. It's just big enough to be distracting, but not quite big enough to frame the picture nicely (also not blurry enough to be unnoticeable).

Overall, a good picture. You've got the right idea, I'd just try playing with the composition a bit more and seeing where you end up with it.

PM me if you have any questions.

Nice composition, and the DOF works very well. Good facial expression.

Shame about the doorknob, he's so perfectly framed otherwise... I'm surprised you didn't crop it out.

Bit too much Neat Image? Nice composition, but it's just too blurry for me.

The picture on the wall really pulls this off.

The Beat Goes On

I approve. The beat does go on, around the world. And many of the people that carry it have just such hair.
