*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
I like the girls pose, especially the paint covered hands but I'm afraid the image is let down by a few issues.
As has already been pointed out the desat of the neck, and for me, the hair and eyes too, is the biggest single issue that lets your image down, it would have been a lot better to leave all of these features naturally coloured together with her hands.
There is a significant inaccuracy with your selections throughout which shows that your daughter was wearing a bright yellow/green top? I think a bit of feathering may have helped here, there are thin but distinct lines of yellow around her fingers which are most obvious towards the ends of her fingers.
The activity was, I hope, fun for her it would have helped to have got a more smiley face which would have made the image even more appealing. The background is rather distracting, the pictures on the left in particular. Its a shame that you have cropped off a small portion of her little finger.
I think generally there needs to be more attention to detail, both in-camera and post-processing, its all the little things that cumulatively add up to significantly mar the overall impact the image could have made.
Happy shooting Sid |
