As per your post a little C/C:
I think the cropping is the main problem with this shot, both hands really need to be completely in the shot and you could crop tighter to the left, if I'm completely honest I feel it's a bit tight at the top too as it's a portrait rather than a glamour / headshot style shot.
I like the bokeh in the background but when I shoot portraits I try and avoid dissecting the head with hard lines such as the chair back (although it's not a killer issue in this shot I do still think it detracts a bit).
On a positive side the model seems very relaxed and the black and red work well together in her outfit / accessories. |

You asked for some critiques of your recent uploads, and advice on what you could do differently.
With this photo you have captured a pretty expression, and the girl is in a pleasing and natural pose. Unfortunately the way it has been framed feels a little haphazard; I perhaps would have preferred more of the arm in shot. The skin has gathered under her armpit, which isn't flattering - it may be that you can do a bit of cosmetic readjustment in photoshop, although it would probably be easier to avoid it altogether through different framing. The three other things that stand out to me are the noise, particularly on the arm nearest the bench back; a section of the hair has lost detail; and the white patch of bokeh that enters through one ear and passes out the other.
This all sounds very negative - it isn't meant as such. Take from it what is useful to you, and discard the rest! |
