Comment by K3Master:
It looks like you lost detail in this shoot, and then tried to recover by either pushing the exposure, or using a little too much "fill light" or shadow/highlight adjustments. The end result is that the black in the clothing is noisy and splotchy, and detail is next to non-existent in the hair and face.

While I like the idea of the background, it falls off by being too cluttered in the lower corner.

I want to like this effort, but it feels rushed and lacking in self-respect, to a point. It also loses points because you've chosen this to represent photography as your profession, which says to me, "I rush things and don't care too much about polish and finish."

Now what is he doing up there?

Nice shot but I feel the kid is the subject that carries it, not the duck

the umbrellas exploding in the background scream anything but "just me". Daring shot for DCP voter trolls - I am happy to vote my conscience

Wonderful color combo of black white and red, and very well handled tones throughout.

I think I know you. Nice self portrait. Exposure is spot on considering this must have been tricky with the high contrast subjects in the shot. Beautiful whites.

And model.

hmmm...statuesque redhead, Canon camera, those cool lighting umbrella thingies...wonder who it might be! ;-) lovely self-portrait, Judi, and the way the red on the camera strap matches your hair is wonderful. 9
