Greetings from the Critiaue Club

Fit: This image fits the challenge well, someone is using a cellphone.

Composition: Nicely composed with your girlfriend almost filling the frame without being overbearing. The cellphone in the front helps form a nice diagonal leading us towards her face.

Technical: It may be because this was a last minute entry but the increased brightness is what hurt this image I feel. There is good contrast between dark and light areas but each of these is at the extreme end of the scale. It just feels a bit bright. The DOF is nice as the cellphone in front is OOF enough not to draw too much attention but is still a key element in the image.

Feel: A fun shot that shows nice emotion in your model. I just can't get past the fact that it is a bit "in your face" with the brightness.

PM me if you have any queries.
