Nice placement - I like the way the subject is entering the picture (and nice bokeh...)

Bubbles & Curves

Comment by tiffanyleski:
Is that a real person or a doll, out of curiosity? Mostly its the bubbles that make me think that; It looks like a close-up of a lot of small bubbles, rather than how a real bubble bath usually looks.

This would have been an excellent entry to a "Curves" challenge.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Excellent use of depth of field, and the main focal plane is exactly where my eye thinks that it should be.

Lighting: I really like the backlighting that you achieved here, though I'd like to see this one exposed just a touch more. I think that I'd like it better with the backlight stronger, as well as seeing the highlights of her profile a little more.

Composition/Content: Your composition and content both provide a good deal of interest to your capture. When I first glanced at it, my thought was "wow, she's hot." Then I read the description. She really is close to looking real. Studying the details of the image makes it a little more apparent that she is just too good to be true.

My Opinion: I like the image and I like your execution. Looking through the other images in the challenge, I think that you were scored and placed appropriately. Well seen and well captured.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

I gave this an 8. I thought it had so much magic to it. I love how she is exploring the beach in her own special way. The backlighting enhances this genuine moment.
