Greetings form the Critique Club
Well, first off, you have a goodlooking sister. She has a great determination streak that shows in this image.
If I were to try to "improve" anything in this photograph, I'd make two suggestions. The hand with the wristband should be closed (or clenched) rather than have the thumb out at an angle. Don't be offended, but that thumb outstretched as it is, reminds me of someone hitching a ride rather than one making a statement. Then, try cropping fairly close to the fist. I believe the story is in the model and the wristband, not the negative space.
I've read the comments you've received; the story you were telling wasn't obvious to some voters and then, some found the story difficult to deal with. Frequently, when people are uncomfortable with an idea, it creats negativity. That's the way it goes sometimes.
You created a moving image here, and I, for one, am pleased to have the chance to inspect it more closely. Thank you. |

| As a portrat the wrist band, while making a point, pulls my attention away from the model. |

| the statement she is making distracts from the "portriat" aspect of the shot I think, but its a good shot though maybe a little dark. |

| Obviously this is important to the person, but I see politics instead of portrait when I view this shot. Her face becomes secondary, and I think it should be the primary focus. |

| Good shot but it leaves me to question who is making the statement and from what perspective. |

Nice portrait. The armband draws more attention than subject, not sure if that was your intention. Otherwise pretty good.

| Very emotional, I like that. Technically it leaves a lot to be desired, light is flat and does not let the model come to her right. |
