nice lines, nice feel, and nice processing. a little soft, but all the same, it works. you were probably penalized for the blowouts, but that's just a dpc thing. in real life, almost every photo you'll ever see in a magazine or billboard has blowouts.
this obviously met the challenge and connected with the viewers--that's what you need to do. use this as your bench mark. when you go out to shoot for a challenge, ask yourself how can you use this awesome tool you have to produce an image that will connect you with more viewers in a positive manner? |

| Good shot and has potential. Framing is good with sharp focus on subject -the young girl under the yellow hood. Lighting is a bit harsh on her features as that there are areas where the light falls such that the rosy tones of her skin are lost. You want to keep the tones of the skin even so lighting is critical. Keeping an even, rosy tone to her face would improve the portrait's appeal not to mention play into the fairytale connection of happy, cherubic girl skipping to granny's house. If using natural lighting the best times are early morning or late afternoon because the light provides a richer warmer tones. Late afternoon and high noon typically has the harsher white light because it is the full strength of light of the day - of course cloud cover can change that by diffusing and shattering the light thus lessening the harsh lighting to subjects. Background could be better suited to the title theme by either showing green foliage or just a dark background to make the yellow hues of the hood visually pop out. Lastly, in keeping with the title theme the inclusion of the girl holding a basket would strengthen the connection to the fairytale story. |

| adorable :) I like the muted colours a lot; the blown highlights on the zipper steal some of the facial detail, but not a big deal since the eyes draw you in anyway. nicely done. |
