a good capture. The lighting is a bit harsh on the butterfly. I would also like to see more of him, and less of the plant blocking him.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: The image is nicely crisp and well-focused, but I think that I'd like to see this one with a much more shallow depth of field. While the background is not terribly overpowering, it is still a bit distracting.

Lighting: I think that the lighting is too harsh. I do like the backlit feeling of the animal skin, and the nicely contrasting shadows cast by her working hands, but the entire frame seems a bit washed out.

Composition/Content: I believe that your choice of subject matter is the strongest element of this image. This is a lady doing something that is well out of the ordinary in today's technology-dependent society. So, terrific subject, but the composition is a bit off. I see some literal framing, but the framed feeling of the image could have used more attention.

My Opinion: Nice work meeting the challenge in a very creative way, and with very creative subject matter. I think this one would have pulled a better score with some lighting adjustments. As it is, I think that it scored pretty close to its potential.

Comment by posthumous:
excellent use of backlighting. one can sense the soul of the subject, or at least the soul of the work. 9.

Nice, the way the frame is actually part of the action, not an artificial addition.

I am shuffling between her partially exposed breast and belly piercing ;-) Will leave another comment when I get to her face.
