Greetings from the Critique Club!!
It's me again!!!
I think in order for this shot to be truly considered high contrast, the focus would have to be on the popcicles only. A red one and a green one; a blue one and a yellow one. In color photography, for high contrast to really work, the main subjects have to be opposing colors on the color wheel. With so much skin tone and hair, it loses that element and just becomes a really pleasant candid portrait. Now it's possible that with desaturation and adjustment of brightness and contrast, this photo COULD become high contrast in black and white.
The composition is good. I think the focus would have to be tack sharp and it could really work. I might crop the left third of the shot, as her shoulder and the shrubbery behind are not an integral part of it and it would still have impact with that area missing. Plus, you'd be able to close in on her more and the popcicles would be larger.
I hope this commentary is helpful. I look forward to your great work in the future!! All the best, Judy |

| Fun colors of the popcicles. I think this would have the impact you were looking for if the focus were ultra sharp. I like her hair hanging over her cheek, and her natural pose. The lighting is good as well. |

| Good contrasting colors: white shirt, popsicle colors and dark tree background. For me, this would also have worked well in the color portrait challenge. |
