Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition is good here with the girl at the far left third. However, she is competing for attention with the shredded tire. As it's on it's own, in a pool of hard black shadow, it's a very strong element to have in the pic, so I find my eye going back and forth between the two. I find some flow from the girl up and around the arc of the wheelwell to the tire, but wish there were more to see.

This was shot when the sun was high in the sky and hence the harsh shadows and blown highlights. I suppose you were going for a somewhat tough, industrial look here and perhaps instructed the model to dress and makeup accordingly. The pout seems to be stiffening her jaw somewhat; she has an interesting face, I would like to see more shots of her in different projects. However, she is also chopped off midway which gives the image a somewhat abbreviated look.

I hope this critique has been of help, feel free to PM me with any questions.

Susan

Already voted-- interesting concept and it turned ot well, the background and the color of that ladies hair fits almost perfectly! Nice set up for this shot!

I love how her hair matches the tones behind her.

This could be a lot better if she was processed to look realistic.
