This is a great image! I love the color tones you've worked it up with. Nice composition, the eyes follow the train along quite naturally. Well done!

I like the vintage look to this shot, not cliche at all-- It works for me- 8
Edit second look-- bumping to a 9

::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
A nice portrait, but doesn't seem quite studio to me.

Composition:
The crop is just a very little bit tight for a traditional portrait. It's not bad though.

Subject:
This is just part of my template. The subject is clearly seperated from the b/g though.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
All good, but I'd like to see a little more USM in your post process.

To grow its vote?:
Hard challenge, but I think a more solid background would have given it the studio look the voters were looking for.

Summary:
OK, it seems that I may sound a bt negative in my critiue so far. But, I like this portrait. It shows a very flattering photo of your sis with much character. All-in-all, I think you took a great photo of her.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
