Silky Scarfby
jjusaComment by sfalice: Greetings from the Critique Club
I see you are fairly new to DPC and are settling in nicely. Terrific.
When I first saw this iamge, I thought, wow, what an attractive model and expressive eyes. Then I went to the umbrella and finally to the scarf, which was, I think the main focus of your composition. This image almost works. (If it was mine, I'd be happy!) Nevertheless, there were some minor problems that come to mind.
Yes, I also think the umbrella is a tad 'heavy' for the composition. But if used, perhaps the model doesn't need to be holding the handle. Then, there is a little red x at the lower left that might be better out of there. I'm gonna really nit pic and say the tag on the model's scarf should go away. And finally, there's something about the model's dress, especially around the waistline that gives the appearance of being wrinkled.
I'm really being nit picky about a really good image, because overall I think you have an excellent start here.
So, keep 'em coming and I wish you much luck in your future photography. You really are good at this.
