This is a really nice shot but I just can't see it connecting with the challenge.

I really don't see enough blue (just small bit in corner and eye) to make this work for this challenge, sorry.

Comment by Kathy:
Not quite obvious enough for me. I might have cropped everything from right of hair, and made more of a portrait orientation.

Very effective image but I think you needed to show a bit more blue. 7

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Not often I get to critique something I commented on. :)

Composition:
I thought this was well composed with good use of DOF.

Subject:
Meets the challenge and is very off centred.

Technical (Colour and light):
Good lighting, good dof, maybe the cropping could have improved the shot and taken it from over average to better.

To grow its vote?:
I think that perhaps the cropping may have been the issue for some ... having the crop slightly wider on the left (looking at the screen) ... may have given a little more proportion.

Summary:
Great shot ... I like your model and use of her here.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Very nice light and beautiful model. The patern on the wall makes me think "turn of the century" for some reason. (and not the one 6 years ago) Bumping up.
