Very cute image. I wonder if you used a polarizing filter? There's a little bit of haze in front of her face that I find distracting.

This is a nice photo. One minor thing, the reflection in the window. The rest is great. I like the peeling paint. 9

The diagonal line is a good compositional element, although centered eyes show a lack of composition imagination. Rule of thirds?

I like this image, the tone of the blue is very pleasing indeed.

The branches in the top left corner are a distraction, there is certainly a temptation to consider cropping but I think this would be detrimental to the image, as the expanse in the upper two thirds of the image compliment the lower branches and moon. I would suggest the idea that it may have been worth considering an active inclusion of the tree to the left thus creating a nice framing effect for the moon.

Personally I'm not too keen on the border, I know that many people have different ideas on borders but for me it's simply a case that the border should passively compliment the image, although the border you have chosen it simple and neat I do find myself looking at it (especially along the bottom edge), therefore it is 'active' rather than 'passive'.

All in all it's a really nice shot, I think that it would look great printed.

Hope this helps and please feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions.

You chose the subject to be outside looking in, rather than the camera. You did not provide much of interest on inside or outside other than the kilroy like view of the subject. A 4.

Nice mood. The fence and the background in general are a little too blown out, making the edge of his face too hot.

The capture of the face is great, but I do finf the window brightness a little harsh

The bright background is a tad overpowering
