Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

She is a lovely model and you have captured her nice natural smile in a very attractive way. However, I feel it lacks the sharpness necessary to give it that extra impact, there feels a softness throughout that may be down to camera shake. Looking at your EXIF the 1/125 should under normal circumstances avoid this problem but I see you have used 173mm focal length in which case I think I would have raised the ISO to 800 to get into the 1/250 range which should hopefully have given you a sharper image. Failing that the softness may be inherent in the lens itself, whilst they are a great travel lens they inevitably come with some shortcomings.

The other problem is the fall of the light itself, it is lighting areas of her forehead, cheek and nose and arms in a not entirely enhancing way. The problem is that it is forming highlights in these areas. In the case of her arms and hands this may have been best avoided with a closer crop of just her face and shoulders.

A good attempt, thanks for your entry David.
