Great, Good to see women from all the three forces. I can never rate this picture only the photograhic merit as it symobolises much more than that.

The whites are completley over-exposed. Also around the eyes and the hats look to either be over sharpened or there are compression artifacts?

I like the composition, but the underexposed background screams "on-board flash". There look to be a lot of JPEG artifacts here; when I go to download this image, it comes up at only 36 kb, and yet you could have saved it at 150 kb.

you need better lighting for this kind of shots. Left shirt looks over exposed.Blown out pure whites all over the place. Focus looks off.

well, I guess it is a portrait, but to me it seems no effort was made to make it a great shot, more of a snapshot. Grainy, harsh direct flash lighting.. not very good at all I am afraid.. 4

Nice snap shot.

I'll bet you've read this before, but the lighting looks like a single source and is your main light. Not too flattering. Would be better to get the light source up and a way from the camera. Basically practice more with your flash, or don't use it at all.

Highlights are too washed out. Highlights on cheeks of center woman look almost like painted white lines.

I would have liked to have seen the background a little lighter and not so dark (black) but a wonderful picture!

owch, the white hurts my eyes. Especially the blouse of the army lady is totaly blown out. Lighting on their faces is pretty hars too, as are the shadows of the air force lady. Please devote some more attention to lighting next time, try using some diffusion material (a tissue will do) or apply indirect lighting (4)

The background is a bit distracting. Looks like the Navy is the happiest branch of the them all.
