*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An excellent portrait that is assumed to fulfil the challenge.
A very striking portrait that, like all good photography, is all about the light. I like your low viewpoint which has allowed you to exclude potential distractions and isolate your subject against a plainer background. Your portrait is also about timing, you have captured a reflective moment that works well because it suggests a natural expression that shows a complete unawareness of the camera or anything else at that moment in time.
Your exposure is generally good with good detail throughout though I do feel that you are pushing close to the boundaries of overexposure in some rather important areas mainly the lady's forehead. If you had underexposed by a third of a stop I think you would have given just a bit more room without darkening her face too much though it is, I have to admit, I very fine line. There is possibly a little too much space above her head but her gaze needs some space to look into and because of it I think you just about get away with it.
It is a very appealing portrait that in any other related challenge would have done well but the nature of this particular challenge is lots of high quality entries to compete against. Well done, Sid |
