Greetings from the critique club :)
Well I didn´t vote in this challenge but if I had I probably would have given this a 6 since I think it´s above average in the challenge but still not a great photograph. I like the high key feel to it, the exposure the light got in this photograph. The soft colors also appeal to me.
However, I am not as fond of the composition. What mostly bothers me about it is all that space around the model. The space to her left is to my taste (although I would crop out that plant) but I would crop/frame a little bit off the top and almost all of the front, I would have cropped this shot to a more square size and cut off everything from almost just beneath her feet, leaving just a little bit of room there. I put my hands over the screen like that and it instantly appealed more to me personally.
To score better I think you would need to watch highlights better, DPC voters really tend to dislike blown highlights, I do not mind them in this photograph and I think they make it more dreamy but trust me, watching those highlights will seriously help you score.
I took a peek at your outtakes and nr 1 and 3 are really nice, don´t care as well for nr 2, the color is a bit too strong for my taste there.
All in all I think this shot is good, just needs a bit of a push and it would be great :)
Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus. |
