Cute, Love the pose and the over all feel. The light is way too strong. Need to tone this down with the contrast of light hair/dark top. Great blue eyes.

I think the eyes look unaturally blue. I love the smile on the model and her fun pose. Best Wishes!

Full on flash is tough to pull off, it robs the face of flattering shadows and exposes flaws in the skin. it also looks as if you are slightly back focused as the hair is sharper than the leading edge of the hands and mouth. im sorry if this comes off a harsh, just trying to point out room for improvment.

Dumb & Lazy

Comment by Jutilda:
Greetings from the Critique Club.

Your photo has a funny title and idea which I mentioned in my first comments during the voting stage.

I think the perspective might have worked better had you been down on their level so that you aren't actually looking down on the subjects. The shadows work against you, so maybe shooting it at a different time of day might have eliminated that problem and showcased the coloration of their clothing a bit more. The focus is fine but undermined a little by the shadowing. It made the "dunce" face almost halfway eliminated and a very expressive face might've conveyed the dumb look I think you were going for. As for the lazy one, I think a different pose would work better so that you could see her face too, maybe with her eyes rolling up as if to say "me?" That might have added to the humor of it over just lying in the grass. I would have had the girls in front of a solid backdrop (maybe a sheet or something without pattern) which would help from the distraction of the clapboard of the side of the house.

You are most certainly onto something and I think with a little tweaking this idea could serve you well. All the best in your future challenges!!!
