If it wasn't for the title, it would be too hard for me to see the lines in this one.

I like the editing also. Regardless of that her expression and how she fits in this little world you've captured in this frame is what makes the photo. Great job capturing that.

Hi!

Very creative. I like the colours. The lighting could be stronger.

I like It:)

Greetings from CTP2

I like the idea. The choice in background is ideal and the composition is perfect. The thing that holds this back is the lighting. When I look at this in photoshop the histogram barely registers any information in the midtones, which is why there is a harsh transition from light to dark in this image. What I would try and do is use more lighting that is difused and light the glass from behind to avoid those hot spots in the front. You'll get better looking glass that can support a reflection like the skyline with better detail. Avoiding those hot spots will also allow you more room to work in post processing to bring out the detail in the skyline without worry about blowing the highlights in general.

Hello from �lex, of the CTP MkII

First Impression: Nice reflection with a good BG
Composition: Very good use of thirds, well balanced.
Subject: It's OK, but a bit strange for me, it's difficult to understand where are you, how nyc is reflecting on the glass.
Technical: Colors are a bit washed, as they are a reflection. The focus is good on the glass.
Improvement: Maybe you could try with a bigger glass

First impression
1. Beautiful model and you captured it well
2. Good use of colours and lighting
3. Don't know what R*E*T*I*C*E*N*T means and therefore have to look it up. Finding out that it can be many things so it takes away thinking of the picture. There are so many "Non US" on DPC like me and only understand simple English.
4. Good border pick.
What could you do better
1. This is a good example of perfect rule of thirds, i.e. eyes are in the top third, person in the right third but in my opinion you should have zoomed a bit more in on the girl or add something to the picture. There is to much of empty space.
2. There is nothing else that I know of!
Hope this helps

Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression
Very Nice POrtrait shot.
Composition:
Not sure about the cropping. I actually saved this picture and tried crop myself. I definately think the cropped one is looking better.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Nice expressions.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting is perfect.
Improvement:
Tighter crop.
Summary:
Nice picture over all. Tight crop of it should have scored higher.

Best of luck for your future challenges.
