Not sure what the thinking is behind this one. Odd. The bottom left corner bothers me compositionally.

An out of the box take on the challenge. There's a little bit of gray cast - an adjustment of levels (or curves( would have punched the color, the shadows and the highlights more ... especially that your lighting is beautiful.

I see circles, half circles, squares, rectangle_alot of shapes, no triangle. The title does not help me either. Well shot image, its a little dark on my monitor though

This is somewhat hard to see. I like it since I did something similar. Good luck.

interesting, clear. I know there's a triangle there but its shape doesn't stand out to me.

This picture has a nice overall tonal quality, but seems very busy. I don't know what the subject is and had to really search for a triangle.

Hi Greg, greetings from the Critique Club!
Let me start by saying that I like the colors presented in this image but I agree with several previous commenters that the crop is not the most effective possible. The dof is right on the primary subject, but the thrown-off-focus hanging pots are distractions given the center cropping. I'd suggest a dramatic recrop, with perhaps presenting only the upper third/or half of the model's torso and head horizontally speaking, and vertically on the left from right before the blurred out hanging vine until the current right edge. Such a crop would place the model's head right in the left vertical line of third, and the off-focus hanging pots would present a much more positive contribution to the mood of the image.
Another possibility is to compose as a vertical shot, and again recrop, but this time using the two off-focus vines to the left and right of the model's face as boundaries.
I like the lighting condition of this shot, but her skin has a slight pinkish cast, and curves or levels could adjust this to a more dramatic tone. Burning on the white jacket might also work to increase the drama and oomph factor, setting off even more the paleness present in other elements in this image.
Overall, a nice entry, imho, in the challenge that has lots of potential. I hope this comment is constructive, and wish you luck in future challenges. Thanks!
