Greetings from the Critique Club

This image is only OK in that it does manage to convey some sense of emptiness. The wb is unappealing. The comp is OK, the wb is unappealing and the image is far too small.

Once again, you are shooting wide open with an ISO of 100, changing only your shutter speed. You have a ton of homework ahead of you, starting with learning how to shoot on Manual mode.

The bokeh here is indeed very pretty, and the comp is OK - I like that she is looking to the left and you've given her the room to do so - but this image finished where it did for a reason. It's a snapshot of a mannequin in a store. Camera shake is evident, and choosing to shoot wide open at a very slow shutter speed, with even a fast lens will not help.

Ryan, I feel it's time that you stepped out of your comfort zone in all senses of the word. You need to learn your camera, your glass's capabilities, learn a lot more about composition, play around with angles, and pay a whole lot more attention to a challenge description if you want to do well on this site.

As always, feel free to PM me.
