Greetings from the Critique Club

What a charming portrait of an adorable little girl. I'm delighted to see that you blurred out the background but still let us know it's an outdoor shot. Cropping is good.

It's a spontaneous image so the gaze directly at you (and the camera) works. The care with which it was taken eliminates it from the "snapshot" category.

I have only two suggestions. The first, to take care of hot areas is to bracket. The Canon will do it if programmed, I don't know about the Sony. But it must be easy to flip a lever or two to change the aperture, up and down, for one shot each. Of course you may catch a different expression each time; that could work to your benefit (or not).

The second suggestion would be to have an assistant or even the little girl (make a game of it) hold a piece of aluminum foil or a diffuser to her right to reflect more evenly the light on her face.

Whatever. You should be pleased with this image. It's a good one.

This doesn't look like much of a destination to me. I get your title, I just don't think your image portrays it like I would imagine in my own head. I think it is the ring of light in the dead center that ruins it for me.

This is a beautiful abstract image. It seems a little difficult to tie it to the idea of a destinations, but I like it very much.

I really like the lighting. My eyes keep "diving" through the center in the hopes of seeing what there is. :-)

Destination? Yes. Color well done? Yes. Composition? Well, honestly, its a little boring. As a conceptual piece it works, much like modern art, but as a photograph it doesn't hold my attention for long. I really like the lighting effect you acheived. Also enjoy the fade to black. 7 - good luck in the challenge.
