Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
First Impression - the most important one:
Doesn't seem quite to fit the challenge .. and there is an issue with the lighting ...
Composition:
Interesting with the two of them in the same part of the frame ... cropping hte lower part of the frame removes the lighting distraction and may have helped ... creating the impression of seeing more of the females face.
Subject:
Not sure if it meets the challenge ... but is a lovely shot ...
"Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment."
Technical (Colour and light):
Here are some of the issues ... the bottom of the skirt is lit well .. and the wall behind them is lit along with her arm ... but there seens to be a need to light her and emphasise what she is doing there ....
To grow its vote?:
Think about the challenge in an exact manner and then go and shoot .. this is a great shot just not a natural environment ... is a great shot for before a dance .. or something like that ...
Summary:
Godo work .. you have a great eye and an awesome portfolio building up .. keep it up.
