The framing is unsettling to me and overpowers your subject. I'd like to see your model squared more to the camera. His left side seems to dominant and his right side gets lost with the background.

A very competent photo ... it well conveys the personality of your subject. Although i usually don't like tilt, I like this!

Hi from the C CLub!

Whatttttttt an adorable baby, how big is that smile!!!!

You need to crop out some of the bottom of teh shot, just so it is straight, as of right now it is tilted and gives the feeling that he is going to fall over to the left. Because the letterings are so large, i think a crop off the top, to the third hoof print would have made him seem just a little more in proportion than he is right now.

I an not see anything that you can do to improve this shot bar the crop, it is adorable.

well done

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I like the idea that you were after. I think you could have pushed this further, I agree with the comments below that she looks too clean for an "oil" challenge. A bit of grease on her face would definitely improve the image. The oil smeared on the stomach looks too staged -- whoever applied it tried to carefully avoid her belly button.

The light on her face is a little harsh for me, as it makes her face too bright as compared to the rest of the photo. There are a few elements in this photo that I find a little distracting -- the harsh shadows on the ground, the silver foil on the model's stomach, her jewelry which seems to contrast with the dirty surroundings.

I really like the angle that you shot from, model's pose and how comfortable she looks in the shot.

I hope this is helpful. Feel from to PM me if you have any questions.
