Swimming with Koiby
lovethelightComment by photokariangel: This is Kari Ann, greetings from the
Critique Club:
composition: Tiffany is placed very well in the frame, her face falls on the Rule of thirds line wonderfully. The fish is also helping to decrease the awkwardness of the negative space on the left side. The negative space accents the white of her face, in the photo, almost appearing as if she's floating in space.
color: Always a b/w lover, Its simply stunning in Black and white.
contrast: the contrast of her face is beautiful, it accents all her major features, and makes them pop off her porcelain skin. very well controlled too, its not overpowering.
focus: dead on. her eyes are so sharp and deep
depth of field: perfect so that her and the fish appear to be on the same level.
lighting: just the right amount of light, making the bottom seem to run on forever, and her face to light up like an angel. Also enough to reflect off the fish. perfect lighting
other: I thought this would have went a little higher, but the placing is awesome non-the-less. I hope you and Tiffany are both as happy with this shot as I was, i love it. I also enjoyed your transparency shot too, very well done. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll be looking for these Koi fish more often now!
