Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: The image is nicely crisp and well-focused, but I think that I'd like to see this one with a much more shallow depth of field. While the background is not terribly overpowering, it is still a bit distracting.
Lighting: I think that the lighting is too harsh. I do like the backlit feeling of the animal skin, and the nicely contrasting shadows cast by her working hands, but the entire frame seems a bit washed out.
Composition/Content: I believe that your choice of subject matter is the strongest element of this image. This is a lady doing something that is well out of the ordinary in today's technology-dependent society. So, terrific subject, but the composition is a bit off. I see some literal framing, but the framed feeling of the image could have used more attention.
My Opinion: Nice work meeting the challenge in a very creative way, and with very creative subject matter. I think this one would have pulled a better score with some lighting adjustments. As it is, I think that it scored pretty close to its potential.
