Holy crap, this is a cool shot. You just missed your flocu though and that sucks. See how the sharpest thing in the shot is the white t-shirted shoulder? If that was the kids head this would be magnificent! Good timing, good eye!

Very cool! With a cleaner and darker background, this could be too cool!

Wretchedness - Feeling Blue

From the Critique Club:

This shot has so much potential that it is a joy to critique! I love your location. You have a good eye to spot such a location and associate it to this challenge. I love the repetition of the arches and brickwork. You have a good model and decent posing for the challenge. It would work fine but...

You picked the wrong time of day for this shot. There is just too much contrast. Your highlights are way to highlighted and to bring out the detail of the shadows makes it worse. Your background is a bit busy for this shot also. I have not seen this location but shooting from the other end of the prominade might have helped.

If you have the opportunity, I would definately recomend going back and reshooting this scene. I recomend going either late morning or early evening. This will help to even out the exposure. You may even get some very cool night shots depending on the lighting in the area.

Good eye, can't wait to see more shots with this potential fluffed out a little.

Yours
TC
