From the Critique Club

I think you photograph is well done technically and I like that you have opened up the crop on take two over the original. The eye contact between the model and camera is great and the focus is good. The bottom half of her body does seem a little uncomfortable but the rest of the pose is great. I do think the background is a bit distracting with the line or border at the bottom going straight through her arm. I feel it would of been better if the dark portion of the background would of continued all the way down to the model.

Overall a very good setup and technically sound. A few distracting elements eliminated would of made the picture great.

I hope you find this critique helpful and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

regards,
SDW

Well done Chris! Congratulations on the top 10 finish. If those eyes were just a bit sharper this might have won a ribbon.

If the material was just a tad thinner so you could see more detail of her lower jaw area this would be perfect. Still deserves applause nice bright colors.
