Introducing Samiby
ClubJuggleComment by fotomann_forever: ::: Greetings from Critique Club :::
Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
Cute, very cute. But, with her being on someones' shoulder and a nicely out-of-focus, but unsolid background, seems more like a really good candid rather than a studio portrait to me.
Composition:
Composition is fine for a protrait, although crop may be just a bit too tight.
Subject:
Clear and in focus and DoF isolates her well from the background.
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color seems natural and well managed.
Focus is sharp and as I said earlier DoF works well for you.
Lighting and exposure are good, although the photo comes out a bit flat for me. A bit more radical curves adjustment could give this photo a bit more pop.
To grow its vote?:
Technically, all around it's a good photo. However, I (and I'm sure quite a few others) don't see it as meeting the challenge. But, she IS precious. Hell, she beat MY score :-)
Summary:
Lovely shot of your niece, a keeper for sure. As always, good work from you, Terry.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
