I really like this idea. How did you do it? I only wish it was lit brighter.

I wonder if a pure white background would have made this pop a bit more?

I think this would have been more striking with a black background.

I'd like to see more red and a tighter crop. There needs to be a little more light here too.

Nice, meets the challenge, colours look a little dull, maybe better lighting would help.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

What a great shot. Beautiful girl, great composition, great pose/expression, good lightingâ€Â¦

A couple of constructive comments; I like the lighting, but it̢۪s a little harsh on her right sleeve. It looks like you had the lighting to the left of you. I think the photo would stand out a little more if the lighting was on your right. It would make all those whites a little more evenly lit and remove the shadows on her face. That chair does not need to be in the photo and kind of draws attention from her, cheap stools work great and for what ever reason kids live playing on them. The photo also seems a little soft, not soft focus, but not tact sharp. Were you going for soft focus or tac sharp? You are somewhere in between.

Great photo though. I would have scored it a 6 or 7 and I̢۪m a harsh scorer. Good luck of future challenges!

Sweet composition. Follows the rule of thirds. Nice catchlights.

What a sweet girl. Beautiful example of the rules of thirds. I would frame this one.
