CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat
Composition
I find that overall the composition of this works well. It fills the frame nicely (maybe a touch too tight, even), and the boomerang helps to serve to pull the eyes down and in. Her location in the frame is good, an effective use of the rule of thirds. My only complaint is that her pose looks a little stiff. Maybe changing the pose so that it looked like she was just holding the boomerang and not pretending to throw it.
Technique
It is very well focused, and the lighting works well in that it is bright and "illuminates" her features well. However, the brightness of it bothers me somehow because of the plain backdrop. The lighting says, "Outside, sunlight" while the backdrop says "Indoor, studio." Does that make sense? If not, contact me, and I will try to explain further. It would have been awesome if she could have been standing in front of an outback looking scene (but I understand that there are some things that are not possible), or at least out side somewhere.
Overall Effect
I live under a rock and have never watched this show, so I didn't know if it was an actual contestant or not. That is cool that it was. I don't think it hurt you to have her in both challenges, I think it was a good idea. Though I thought it met the challenge, I wonder if some of the lower voters questioned it. It does seem to show more the result of travel than actually travelling, and though that works for me, there are some for whom it doesn't!
Good work, and good luck in the future!

| Nice composition and colors. While the lighting is nice, I would prefer it to be more soft or subdued (not so obvious - does that make sense?) |

I like the lighting & exposure and color of this image. It would do great in a travel magazine when the background was a bit more interesting.
Good detail.

| Technically a very well done picture, but not sure I like the pose of the model as it reminds me of a department store advertisement and I see the picrure having more to do with that than travel. Also the foreground is kind of boring. |

| Very nice. The crop is just a bit tight on the boomerang but still one of my top 3. |
