I like this shot, but I think that the white rose petals on the white lace are just too high key for my taste. WIth red petals, this would have been a 9+.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Shanksware :)

I think this photo is underrated for sure. It's a very nicely done portrait. The reason it is underrated is rather simple though. It's not your soft focus, technique, or composition. It's the subject. Your subject is indeed beautiful and, as I said before, it's very nicely executed. The problem is that the viewers of this image have no attachment to the subject and there is no particular wow factor that creates a link to the unattached viewer of the image. When presenting a portrait to a general public audience, you can't expect much in terms of artistic merit recognition.

My personal opinion of the image is that the color tones are possibly a bit too warm for the image.

Love this shot. Glad you got a ribbon with it. It made me chuckle and marvel at your creativity. Also sent me straight back to my childhood. Clever, and well executed!
