Initial thoughts
Intimate and relaxed portrait.

Composition/ Content
I find the composition of this portrait especially pleasing. I really like the way you’ve got up close and personal – that tight crop really contributes to the intimacy of the image. I also like the framing provided by the hat and the way the pale background behind continues that. The curve of hair on her face also works well. Additionally, the simple colour palette of pink skin, red lips and top, white hat and background and brown hair, with just a touch of blue creates a certain simplicity that helps bring the focus to her expression. I am definitely drawn to her eyes and smile.

Camera Work - Technical
The image doesn̢۪t feel as sharp is it could, though perhaps that̢۪s a deliberate choice. Personally, I̢۪d prefer a little more sharpness in eyes, nose and mouth areas.

Any negatives?
Other than additional sharpness I̢۪d prefer if the hat didn̢۪t slightly obscure one of her eyes as it means I̢۪m drawn more to the other eye rather than looking at her face evenly. Being fussy, I̢۪d say that the tangle of hair in the lower right area could do with being tidied/ excluded. But I imagine that this was a candid in which case those elements were probably not as easy to control.

My Opinion On The Photo
A charming portrait of a beautiful girl.

I really have no idea what this is but if I did, I'd say the composition is strong and the colors are vibrant. That said, you gat a 7. Good luck!

I like this and the DOF looks nice - I think it would be better with the empty space on the left rather then right. Unless the hair over her eye is "her", I would like to see a little of her left eye.

Nice. The composition reminds me a little of the old Maxell ads from the '80s.

the lighting looks very good here, allthough overall it could be a little bit lighter.

I might have cropped the photo a bit different, but that;s a matter of taste.

anyway, I think you did a good job. she looks cool!
