"Back in the day" is a vintage look in the Fashion challenge. I think voters were looking for a very commercial looking image, like something you would see in Cosmo or see on an MTV commercial. But it was refreshing to see your entry.

The image itself is very different from the rest. Very interesting idea to go back into the day to take a fashion shot. I was reading your comments and that is always interesting. It sounds like you had put a lot of work into getting a shot for this challenge, which always makes the results more rewarding.

Technically the ligating is nice and even, no major shadows that are distracting. I personally would have liked to have to top of her head included in the shot, it just feels like it was cut off. I can tell you wanted to leave the gloves inside the shot but it would have been awesome if you could have included both the gloves and the top of her head. I like the focus on her face, I wish the gloves were still in focus. The feather does draws attention to the gloves and unfortunately the blur. Her expression is very interesting and does grab attention.

It is always a good sign when your first challenge allows you to be in the upper half of the competition. I think you have great ideas and will be on your way. Keep up the good work.

The angle of this shot is just not flattering. The crop to the head and the angle makes her head look out of proportion. The harsh lighting on her hip is distracting.
