Looks like Helen Ga. Overexposure works well here. Nice job.

Greetings from the Critique Club Steve!

Overall I find this image to be nicely done. Lovely subject and I like the crop and framing with the flowers here.

The lighting is just a bit much. As was said below, a touch softer and I think this would've worked better for you. I also think that a smaller aperture might have been done in order to get the foreground flowers in focus, which is needed for a portrait style image such as this. The yellow fights for my attention from the entire image which wouldn't be a big deal if her eyes were open. However, you certainly get more of an emotive feel with them closed which is nice. There is also a small white speck on her upper lip that could be cloned out.

Overall a very nice effort Steve!

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image.

I Don't Care Too Much For Money

Greetings from the Critique Club Noella!

At first glance I find the shot to be creatively funny. The look on his face is priceles and I think that this was a great idea.

A couple of things that I think might improve the shot. I sort of understand the tight crop here but you went a bit far with his head and the plate of money. Leaves a sense of incompleteness on the image. Also, the DOF here calls for a smaller aperture (around f8 or so) as it gets a bit of a blur on his left hand and face. Sometimes a shallow DOF is needed but with the hands being a major part of the composition here I think you need both in focus.

Overall a good effort Noella.

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image!

This is a cool shot. I like the placement of the barn on the left side of the image. We're taught that the subject should usually be on the right side but I think it works well here. Not sure if it's the lay of the land but it seems to be just a bit tilted to the left. I'd try rotating it clockwise a half degree and see what you come up with. Overall a great shot!

Overall I like the image. The overexposure works well here and crop on the right side with the window barriers is dead on perfect (straight). Great looking piece of architecture indeed.

What got you here is the left side of the shot. The voters want symmetry for ceiling shots, detailing all of the wonderful archtecture. The part on the left is distracting enough for them not to give you many 8's which is needed for a high placement. Technicals are great but the composition just leaves me wanting a bit more.

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image Tim!

They sure haven't Rach. We lucked out that day and decided to take a trip through the Cove. Probably my 500th time in that loop. The exif says May 1st and I don't think we've had a clear day of good views like that since.
