Critique Club Review:

Color Saturationa and Hue are very good. The skin tones are very well done. Brightness and contrast are good, although the whites of the dresses are right at burn-out in a couple of areas.

Focus and depth of fied are excellent. Everything that should be nice and sharp, is.

The liquid or wetness of the hair, is a bit odd, and distracts a little from the photo. Makes you wonder why two girls appear to be lying in a pool of water. It also flattens and discolors the hair a bit. A tiny bit wider shot so that the shoulders were not cut off, would be interesting, but then was there enough hair to carry it?

Overall a very good picture. As for the score, I think you have already hit on the issue. It has already been done with more girls and more hair, by scalvert. Had it not been done before, I think you would have made top ten. Voters are funny that way.

Hey Jeffrey, good job (as always)! You know I love the red hair (and can't forget the gorgeous brunettte too). I really like the diagonal you have going too. I really like the big grin vs the shy smile.
Much congrats on a top 20.
Now ... show us the other contenders (after vacation, of course)!

Jeff - Congrats on the great finish. You have two very pretty models to work with (they must have got it from your wife!) I love the tribute to scalvert's shot.
