Comment by Elaine:
The hat is a little overexposed, and I would like to see the expression of her eye but it is too shadowed.

Comment by posthumous:
love the simple symmetric background. great subject. love how you get the drama of a blown highlight on her hat, which we don't need to see details of, while keeping all the details of her face. The fact that she's not looking at us gives this a candid feel, but also hints at character: she doesn't have time to sit staring at a camera! It suggests a practical nature, though her expression hints at emotional depth. A first-class portrait.

the blown out hat is slightly distracting for me, and I wish I could see some more of her eyes but nice portrait none the less! 6

The woman's face is full of character and quite well captured, though a bit too dar around the visible eye. The blown out top of her hat, however, is very distracting.

Critique Club Review:

Focus and depth of field are quite good.

Color seems a bit cool, as if white balance were off a bit. Lighting is a little harsh, the reflections look like it was lit by camera flash alone. This also makes the picture look a little flat.

The subject appears to be no subject. The eye doesn't really know where to look.

With a little warmer color, and a less harsh light, this could make a nice postcard.
