Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This is a very powerful image... I really love the composition and framing that you chose to represent your song title. I'm not familiar with the song, but I can definitely 'feel good' simply by looking at the photo. I can feel 'warm and cozy' just by looking at this image.

The dark skin tones against the white linen provides GREAT contrast in this photo. The diagonal orientation of the arm also creates a very strong feeling in this photo.

The only room for improvement that I see here would have been to submit a larger photo. Personally, I would have used the full 640 pixels that are available for the height on this one. IMO, larger is usually better. This one is not too small as some are, but I still want to see more detail in this great image!

Keep up the great work.. I look forward to seeing more!

Nicely done. Good skin tones and an excellent job of shooting the whites without blowing them out. Good Crop & an interesting piece of art. 9 Gotcha

Beautiful lighting and exposure. Risky cropping off half her head but that it definately and artistic expression. Next time though, don't crop off the little finger. I have to give you a 9 for this one. Amazing and what a beautiful women.

A wonderfully emotive photo that was a 10 for me the second I saw it. It's a shame we can't click to add an image to our favourites during voting! I really like the simple content - the beautiful skin tone of the model and the crisp white linen. The heavily cropped composition, just including her smile but not the rest of her face or body, is very powerful. This fits the title and the singer 100 % as far as I am concerned and I think it's an absolute winner.

Very nice! Would have loved to have seen more of the subject's face though. 7

looking at this photo makes me feel very good..the colors divided in threes makes for an excellent composition. Well done.

Could stand being a bit bigger.

Interesting. I think I'd like to see the photo a bit bigger. I like the contrast of the skin and (pillows?). Good work. 8

I love this shot you really caught a sense of coziness. I wish you had included a bit more of herface, but it works.7.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

This is a very comforting picture. It just reminds me of a lazy day off totally relazed.
01/06/2003 06:03:05 PM
really really beatiful, all the delicate details; skin tone, valleys of shade on the bright pillow, sweet smile... real nice creative crop, you get a ten. nina simone's pretty cool herself.
