Greetings from the Critique Club!

It's always hard to critique an image that has won a ribbon or finished within a cat's whisker of one. This is one of those images. Fantastic ambient lighting, the models are well chosen and posed, there is a ton of texture and a definite sense of story here, which is so important in portraits. Interesting choice of lens and settings, but it clearly worked! And you want me to tell you how to go to the next level.

Hmm....well there is that tilt to the table, and once seen, I find that it does just throw the balance of this image off just enough to be off-putting. And chopping off the top of the head of the youngest member of the trio is a big no-no in my book. Strictly fwiw the first thing I do with any image is check that the horizon is level, and level it if it needs it. And with portraits it seems to always be a good idea to shoot a bit wide around them (so your subject could *move* without being butted up too close to the edge of the pic.

Definitely you have an eye and a great sense for what makes a good shot, please keep up the good work and continue to enter! And congrats on the HM. In a Free Study, no less.

Thanks a Lot Susan, Suggestions well taken. I thought of giving an explanation, on those you pointed out, but that becomes an excuse, which I think is not right, now I should accept the mistakes and remember not to repeat the mistakes. Thanks once again for the detailed critique. Appreciate your time.
