Into The Light

From the Critique Club

Nice use of an everyday object as an abstract to create an interesting photograph. The focus is good and DOF is on track, could have been slightly deeper. I think a deeper dept of filed would of made it more interesting giving more detail and sharpness around the edges of the brush bristles more than just one or two deep in the photograph. Lighting is good and your photograph is definitely high contrast. Your composition and POV is good against the smooth background.

I hope you find this critique helpful. Keep up the good work.

A beautiful image. The bracelet is little distracting, but not enough to hurt my vote. Nice work.

fun, playful pose and a beautiful smile. lighting is pretty uneven, with the right side of her face and arm a little too much in shadow

She has beautiful hands. I want to see her right eye a bit better. Nice composition.

Great photo! Depending on how much control you had over the lighting, the shadowing seems a little heavy on the right arm and side of the face. Good, clean focus and a nice expression on her face. I like the slight reflection of the light source on the face but I might consider making the background more consistent. Consider removing the bracelet. This is one of my favorites of the challenge.

Super portrait and wonderful, original pose. This photograph gives the viewer an insight into the appealing personality of the subject. I know you probably meant "Charm" as a reference to the jewellery, but there's plenty of the other kind of charm, too. 8
