I'm sure it is peaceful for her, but if I was doing that I would be in great pain I am sure. Good concept, but the angle is a little static, maybe experiment with same theme and different angles and lighting. Maybe black and white. Good luck.

Comment by Artyste:
Too many clashing colors here, and the model is too close to the wall, the shadows being far too strong. You needed one or two more light sources for this to be effective, and a different POV... the way it's set up right now looks hurried and snap-shottish.

Flash looks awful here, especially the shadows. Composition is unbalanced, and picture looks wonky because photo was not taken straight on. Carpet not a good background element. Nothing is sharp.

Nice idea, would have been better if the model was centred under the poster & then shot squarely on rather than at a slight angle.

I like the pose & the idea. I would have tried to get rid of the shadow with some more lighting.

Thank you for submitting your photo to the DPChallenge, Free Study VIII.

Great close up of nature's flowers. It is well composed and focuses on the life of plants and flowers. It also could representative of signs of springtime. I can see little buds on the branch, just waiting to sprout soon.

The lighting and colors are very good. The subdued blue background is a good match to the slightly yellow and white flowers. The background also appears to reflect the foreground imagery.

Technically there is some blurring on the top left corner of the image. As well as the lower left side. The middle portion is spot on perfect.

You captured an simple, yet elegant, and appealing part of nature.

Good luck in your next DPChallenge.
