Love the expression on her face. Nice candid pose. Wish the tonal range was a little wider. Either needs some levels adjustment and/or added contrast IMO. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I like the contrast, lighting and pose. However, I am not sure what the Landscape format gives you but dead space...

Comment by candlerain:
This would have been better if she was looking the other way. She has no space to "look into".

Comment by Mephisto:
nice bw, would have done well for the bokeh challenge, i guess!
would have prefered her looking into the piture instead of out to the right.
but like it really much, you get my first 9 so far...

I wish she had been facing the other way, looking onto the space.

aww excellent! I always thought black&white bokeh to be the most intriguing and difficult to achieve.

Column Detail

Comment by atupdate:
Hello from the Critique Club,

You did a nice job of maintaining the detail in the column under harsh lighting conditions. The shadow running the length of the column on the left side was probably a love or hate type feature, as it help provide visual depth to the image but it also breaks up the continuity of the column. With 39% of your votes being a 5 that indicates that the voters looked for literally 2-3 seconds and concluded, "this picture isn't bad but it doesn't have a lot of wow". And in this challenge, the wow had to be provided by the light. The large number or 3 & 4 votes you received indicate that the light in your image did not wow the voters. My image in this challenge suffered the same fate.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
