Hello and greetings from the Critique Club-
I don’t feel as though your model is washed out, I think part of that feeling is just that she’s got a fair complexion and that, being in shadow, her front has very flat lighting on it. The serious look is interesting, but it fits very well with the landscape. I think your repetition of the color white in so many different aspects is interestingâ€Â¦ the mustache, the clothing, the snow, and it makes it a very cohesive presentation. I’m alright with the sky being blown, but wonder what this would look like if you had perhaps done it in BW. I would also encourage you to just go ahead and blow the whole sky uniformly and leave nothing left of it.
One thing that I think would have worked pretty well given your setting and overall feel, is to have her angled to the light somewhat, so that you can use the sun as a bit of a rimlight, because I really like the way her hair is caught by the light, but it̢۪s minimized in this shot because of the blown sky around her head. This would also give you a bit more edgy lighting on her face. Having her centered isn̢۪t going to be everybody̢۪s cup of tea, but it adds an intensity to things because there is nowhere else for the viewer to look, and I appreciate that.
