*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An appealing image that meets the challenge brief well
You have captured a moment that conveys well the pleasure the child is enjoying in her own little world, the innocence of youth. In terms of the challenge brief you have met the conditions well from your clearly elevated position above her. I often lament that our society discourages photography of children, there are so many innocent moments that, I for one, avoid.
The colours are a little on the weak side, I very strongly agree with your comment from Neat, this would look so very good in mono perhaps with a blue filter to lighten the carpet or red to darken it they would both be worth having a look at.
Your exposure is generally good though there is a small amount of overexposure on the extended left arm. You mention that you forgot to alter the ISO and whilst you are correct the lowest ISO is always preferable, in this case ISO 100, but modern cameras such as yours are still very capable up to 1600 so it is unlikely to adversely affect the image in any significant way.
Thank you for your submission, Sid |
