an interesting character - i wonder if a lower angle would have worked a bit better - but it almost might of got you 'caught' - as it is, the angle and perspective makes it seem as if the man is not on the same level - placing yourself at his eye level could provide more lift to the shot

Comment by Blackbox:
I see your intent at emotion but the photo to me is lacking in abstractedness. It's very beautiful though!

Very pleasing en passant. Nice light and colour. I do think if you cropped out the woman behind (might have to dodge out the edge of her blue sweater) you would have a simply beautiful composition.

The lighting here is beautiful and her expression is mysterious. I think her hands help tell the story. I love the warm tones. Well captured!

The focus and light are right on. The color tones of the clothes
add to the soft and warm feeling here. But her anxious expression is
what captures my eye and makes me wonder why.

Comment by bassbone:
the uncertain look is quite well captured - i just wish there were a bit more context to the image - such as a bit of a different perspective to either have the woman in the background more of a subject or out all togetehr

Comment by MacDonald:
I like the light in this shot - the shadows add much to the overall effect. I agree that the woman in the b/g is a distraction.

Comment by citymars:
Very attractive capture, with lovely slanted lighting. The body language of the subject is quite appealing. The skirt really makes the photo for some reason, I like the color and you've captured the movement nicely. On the nitpick side, the woman in the background is a distraction (to me), and the overhead awning, though oof, nevertheless intrudes a bit as well.

Comment by Ann:
Very nice. Good job getting a lit subject against the shaded background. It makes the subject stand out nicely. The one thing that's missing is a sense of who she is or what she's doing. Not sure how you'd accomplish that with this subject.
