way too much emphasis on the green tinting, nice job on the fence though

Comment by TroyMosley:
I like the lower left of this picture, the color and the guitar strings are good, the deph of fild is good, i like the boka in the background, the only thing thing that could make this picture better would have been the blown out sky, next time, lower the levels in photo shop, then use your history brush to bring out the subject and leave the sky darker,
all in all this is a 6.
keep shooting,

Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is an interesting image. You're certainly right in saying that it captures the feeling between the girl and her horse. In that respect it has a lot of charm and it engages the viewer's emotions. That to me is a sign of a good and lasting portrait ... giving the viewer a glimpse of the inner nature and feelings of the subject (in this case, both subjects). So, a charming photograph of a worthy subject. The difficulty, in my view, is in the processing. It has a too-yellow cast and the blown highlights in the girl's face have diminished what would otherwise have been a lovely portrait. I appreciate that these processing choices were forced upon you by the High Contrast theme. If you'd processed it a little more sympathetically, you would have had a zillion "Where's the contrast?" comments. I'd like to see the same image processed again, this time with a wider tonal range, and retaining the natural colours. Stick a reprocessed version of it in your portfolio - the portrait has too much potential to overlook.
Cheers,
Paul Martin

This would be a LOT better with a different background. Very creative and artistic! Maybe change the depth of field to get more of the guitar in focus. But that's just my personal opinion...

nice image but too casual and candid to be a true portrait for me... :)

Very surreal background - striking. Not really a portrait though (IMO). Still points for good shooting.

What a great look. Love the pose and great hair (having hair envy). Nice job.

I'm not going to tell you that this is too far away, maybe that was the point in the title. Good looking tree, can't tell anything about the model.

I love the way the branches are moving. I can't really call this a portrait since I can hardly make out the subject's face.
