Hello from the Critique Club,
During the challenge, I rated this image a 5. My first impressions were that the subject met the challenge but the post processing made the image look scary instead of pleasurable. Coming back to review this image, it dawned upon me that the scariness could have been muted by cropping out half of the negative space above the girl. This would have made the trees look a little less ominous and by eliminating the bright light coming through the trees, provided a softer feel to the image to reflect the intentional desaturation.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Tim

| What I like most about this is that the noise and clutter of the vegetation makes it seem aggressive and adds a sense of scariness to the shot, but there is also a sense of supreme confidence in the girl. Scariness + confidence = Adventure!! Maybe that's why the quasidesaturation works, because it gives it a pulp-novel-cover feel. |

| Consider cropping a little, making the girl more of a focus and getting rid of the upper left hand corner (it is distracting). By doing this, you could then add more contrast and more detail in the leaves. |

| This should have been a B&W. There just isn't enough color in the bushes to keep it a color image. Perhaps making the image B&W and keeping the girl in color would have helpe give this image the punch it needs. |
