Captures Hanae's beautiful features and delicate bone structure but not her essential warmth and inner joy.

I like your composition here a lot. It leads me off the frame following her gaze. The only thing is, I think I might have liked the fan to be on the bottom left of the frame so as to balance the image because so much weight is on the right. Otherwise, I really like the soft focus and dramatic light. 8.

Greetings from the critique club...

I wasn't able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given this image a 6. This photograph fits the theme very well. The window in the background lets the viewer know there is a primary light source, and that a flash was used to fill in the details on the models face. From that stand point, you have done very well.

Artistically, there are 2 areas where I have some suggestions. First of all, I am really not sure what it is the model is doing. Is he holding a shovel? Is he pulling a sled? While a photograph doesn't have to be crystal clear in subject, I think it might have helped out a little more when it comes to viewers votes. Also, I quite like the red hair because it stands out from everything else and helps establish a focal point (the mans head). I find the red (shirt?) in the background is fighting for attention. Had it not been there, the red hair on the man would have jumped out that much more. Interesting shot overall.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.
