wow, it was brave of you to put your camera so close to spattering oil...
I'd have liked to see somewhat better definition of the shadows and less flatness in the highlights.

Hi there,

"Handle with care" and "Delicate" relates directly to my subject.

She is delicate, so handle her with care.

Yet, in retrospect, I cant expect my peers to know her, so she is a representation of someone who is "Delicate"

A female in this case, a girl - her fragile position emphasised by the black and white tone, the position of her face, and of course... the wind blowing through her hair.

I think this (obvious to me) concept went over too many people's heads, so I will take your advice next time round and make it more literal in this respect!

:)

I agree, the curtains seemed to lend a nice tone in the beginning, but the more I looked at it after submitting, the more it seemed to bother me.

THank you for taking the time to crit my photo!!

Good idea but too tight! You freeze the splatter but the corn is out of frame. Pity.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Your lighting seems to work nicely here, and yes she is beautiful.

I can't help but wonder what is delicate about this photo? I can see her hair is blowing...is the breeze delicate? Its just you didn't convey delicate here.

Your background also is a problem it appears to be curtains and the ridges from them distract from her beauty.

Now that I'm done pointing out two flaws...Welcome to DPC and just ask yourself when entering the next challenge...Does this convey the challenge topic without any question.
