Hello from the Critique Club,
Let me start off by saying you achieved one of the hardest things to accomplish when using non-professional models, the model looks relaxed and natural. There are two items that probably hurt your score the most on this entry, the background and the shadow on her face. One of the DPC rules when using a white background is that it should to be a clean looking white or shows an intentional gradient with a clean looking white focal point. Filler light on the background or a contrasting background would have helped here tremendously. As for the shadow, there are a couple of solutions to this problem. One would be have the lighting on the opposite side of the raised hand or to reverse the hands holding the wand and the bottle. The other would be to use a reflector to fill in the shadows. For this shot I think I would prefer that the model switch hands and blow bubbles in the other direction. I like the contrast achieved with the side lighting you set up and using a reflector would have diminished that effect.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Tim

Composition is good. I think that the shadows on her neck and face are a bit
distracting. |

| Yo...at the risk of sounding crude, a better title might have been...umm...nevermind. I think the photo would have been a little more interesting if you could have somehow cloned the wand and bottle out of the photo. I like the contrast of the colors...more bubbles please! |

| Cute photo but I think the deep shadow on the right takes away from the image. |

| Good clarity on the subject and bubbles, the background looks as though it might benefit from noise reduction. |

| given the composition, I'd like to see some creative work with focus here. a tack sharp face with a very shallow DOF, for example. throwing up a nicely colored backdrop would be a nice touch as well. |

| I like this image because it's relaxed and well lit, the eyes came out really nice too. |

| Shadow is a little harsh but otherwise interesting. |
