Compositionally, I like how the subject is in the right side of the frame and how you have used a clean black for negative space. A couple of different things could have been done to make it a bit more dynamic though. From the higher angle, it looks like she is looking down on the flowers which is nice; however, the angle itself is rather stale. Higher might give it more of a dramatic feeling, or lower to show more of the detail of its face. If you really like this angle, I think zooming in and cropping it very very close.

Technically, I think this photo falls short. The focus is good, but the lighting is not. It looks underexposed and this causes it to seem very very flat, and un-appealing. With better/brighter lighting, I think this could have been a very intriguing still life.

To be honest, there was a "10" in this photo struggling to get out. I like the subject, the lighting, the POV. You captured it brilliantly. And then you ran smack dab into one of my pet peeves - tilted photos. And the funny thing is ... it's probably better tilted just a little ... so well done. I'll set aside my bias on this one!

I've seen this on numerous bike rides through downtown. It's definitely unusual!

lovely subject, but a bit too dark and too much dead space i think
