Greetings from the Critique Club!

First of all huge kudos to your model, what a trooper to put up with sitting in a waterfall and getting drenched. If this is for a model's port, I'd book her! The concept is great but execution is a little weak. While your composition is ok with a good use of thirds, that cut-off toe of both boots just drives me nuts. Don't know if you just shot really tight to the subject and forgot to include the feet, or if she lost them in post, but the result is very amateurish.

This pic has a lot of flaws that could have easily been fixed. First, shooting more frames may have given you a shot where her eye isn't blocked by water drops; your ISO looks a little high, I'm guessing you exposed for the water and not for her. So there is a ton of bleachiness going on both in the water and on her skin. Finally the overall image could use some saturation to pop the colours a little bit more.

Hope this has been helpful,

Susan

I like the subject of this picture and the top adds a great splash of colour. My only little niggle is that my eyes are led out of the bottom left of the photo - I think they're looking for the tip of the boot :-)

Nicely done, but it might have been good to show all of her boot, also if you might have gotten lucky and gotten one where the water doesn't cover her eye.

What a fun shoot that must have been. I've had a few like this and they are always a blast! Nice job!
