Greetings from the critique club
Couple of things stand out for me with this image as to why you didn't score better.
Composition: For this specific challenge which was head & shoulders portrait, I found the framing to be too tight. I would have preferred a couple of steps backward to give the neck and shoulders more emphasis.
Exposure: You elected to go for a high key over exposed look to this one, but I don't think it works very well. I took the liberty of opening the image in PS and found it much more pleasing with the exposure dropped back by 2/3 stop.
Focus: Great job with the focus considering you shot at 1.8. It's hard to keep all the right bits in focus with such shallow Depth of Field.
Overall I thought this had potential and with a couple of small changes it could have scored better. |
