I like everything about it except perhaps the foreground shoulder - I suspect that may be contributing to a lackluster response, as it does tend to overpower the rest of the shot (minus the eye, which grabs immediately!) Makeup and costume are good, model is very pretty. Though you were probably aiming for the shadow, a wee bit of fill on the right would soften it just a touch. (Yeah, I can say stuff like that - have NO idea how to actually shoot or accomplish stuff like that.) Trying to find a way to keep the shoulder (because I do like it there) but "tone it down" a bit - maybe add a bit on the right, as in a wee bit more space? Vignette the lower left a touch? Not sure. Also like how you brought out the eye on the darkish side. (Sorry about the meandering, but I'm going with what I see as I see it, yes?) Finally, for DPC it needs to be sharper, crisper - the overall impression is one of softness, but not enough to be intentional softness, if that makes sense. Anyway, better than what you're getting for it. |
