*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A noble attempt that I assume meets the challenge.
You have attempted to inject some additional interest in your image by having your model pose in a yogic posture silhouetted against the sunset which works to an extent, except that in forcing the sillhouette you have completely overblown the sky as you have already questioned in your comments. There are large areas of sky where all detail has been completely lost which is something that is an absolute no no, its something that as photographers we should always try to reduce to an absolute minimum. It is inevitable that in this type of shot there would be a little overexposure at the sun itself but, like I say, this should be minimal.
A much better approach to make your model a silhouette would have been to select your subject and simply reduce the exposure for her, leaving the background image and exposure intact, this would have produced a much more pleasing result. I firmly believe that you should get as near to perfect in the camera as you can and any subsequent post processing should be handled with care and alterations made should be very subtle aiming to get the very best quality out of the original.
Thank you for your submission, good luck with your future entries, Sid. |
