Initial thoughts
Intimate and relaxed portrait.
Composition/ Content
I find the composition of this portrait especially pleasing. I really like the way you’ve got up close and personal – that tight crop really contributes to the intimacy of the image. I also like the framing provided by the hat and the way the pale background behind continues that. The curve of hair on her face also works well. Additionally, the simple colour palette of pink skin, red lips and top, white hat and background and brown hair, with just a touch of blue creates a certain simplicity that helps bring the focus to her expression. I am definitely drawn to her eyes and smile.
Camera Work - Technical
The image doesn’t feel as sharp is it could, though perhaps that’s a deliberate choice. Personally, I’d prefer a little more sharpness in eyes, nose and mouth areas.
Any negatives?
Other than additional sharpness I’d prefer if the hat didn’t slightly obscure one of her eyes as it means I’m drawn more to the other eye rather than looking at her face evenly. Being fussy, I’d say that the tangle of hair in the lower right area could do with being tidied/ excluded. But I imagine that this was a candid in which case those elements were probably not as easy to control.
My Opinion On The Photo
A charming portrait of a beautiful girl.
