Rather than being a colour portrait, this is of course, about a colour portrait. I hope at least one or two people make that connection. And if you read the challenge details carefully (or even at all), this absolutely meets them.

Yeah, I know, what's the point ...

you are a master on DPC of this genre of photography - capturing things that explain or mimic human behaviour. adding you to my faves (if I have't already.)

Greetings from the Critique Club Ed,

First off, I feel weird critiquing your photo because I think you are one of the best photographers on this site. But on to your image… The only reason this did not score in the 6’s is because a lot of people didn’t like how it fit the challenge. Based on your comments, you were expecting that though.
I really like the idea and the colors/editing are great. Uma is not bad to look at either. I believe what you were going for was the lady comparing herself to Uma. Great idea, something different then what everyone else would do. There is a small flaw in that, but most people probably missed it. If you look at the lady’s reflection in the window, she is pretty clearly looking down the street and not at Uma.
Other things I like about the photo, the reflections on Uma make it clear this is a store front advertisement. That makes it real and believable. Without the reflections it would look like a photoshop job. The angle you chose to shoot from is good too, I like the angle of the sidewalk in the photo.
Other critiques, it looks like you got a little motion blur on her hand. Minor thing, but I’m a detail person and when I notice things like that I tend to have trouble ignoring it. Another thing, if you took a step to the right her reflection would be a more prominent part of the photo. If she were looking dead at Uma that would really add to the drama and what I believe you were going for.

Great photo and great idea. Good job as usual.

Really good, hope you do well. I like it that it is not just a "portrait", but it tells a whole story. Beautiful colours also. 10 from me.

Uma seems to be in better focus that the person. This seems to be more like a street candid than a portrait.

Really more of a candid than a protrait (IMO) but a good capture with a good title. Nice job.

Probably no strictly a portrait, but who cares about strict? It's interesting & provokes thought rather than barfing. 7

nice image but too candid to be a true portrait to me... :)

great shot. i really like how the woman in the window leads my eyes to the other woman through the angle of her body and legs.

Good composition, but for this challenge, I think the work of art is overpowering the "portrait" subject. Lighting and exposure are great.

Good idea. The coloring is great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I don't think this is a portrait
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/13/2005 02:17:30 PM
Great picture, but I think there shoulda been a little more focus on the subject since it's a portrait. But don't pay any attention to me I'm a newbie. Still giving you an 8 though

Great colors, good postprocessing. Good subject too, and tasteful framing.

This would have been better in perspective, I think.
