Interesting picture. Love the colors. I whish the sails were a bit more solid, that would really set this picture in my opinion

I like the vivid colors. However, the flags block too much of the sceen IMO.

Really cool movement on the sails. The kite for me is a bit of a distraction. I was wondering if you took the time to frame this in other was? For example, did you get a shot with a slightly lower perspective that included the tops of the sails, maybe framed vertically to emphasize the height and direction of the sails?

Nice colors and backdrop. The soft edges on the flags look a bit unnatural...like they were cloned in.

I think it would have been better without the flags. The beach scene with the kite is fine by itself.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

I like compostion here. The placement of the model in a corner works in this case and the negative space doesn't take away from the subject. The facial expression is nice and the pose looks very relaxed. The contrast between the background and the model's skin color is also nice, it definitely makes her pop out and be the center of attention, as it should be.

While the lighting on the model is good, bar hotspots on here face, I think the background needed another light source on the left. This would have given you a perfect white background and made this portrait much stronger. The bracelet is another thing that bothers me a little, it really doesn't add anything to the image and is distracting. The eyes could benefit from some dodging, they are the first thing that people see in a portrait but in this case my eye keeps getting drawn to the much brighter smile.

This is just my opnion and you did well on the challenge so keep up the good work.

If you have any questions or comments about this critique, please feel free to PM me.
