This is a wonderful photo that you will probably always treasure. I feel that way about my mother, too.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

The critique I am doing is for "Sisters?"

First Impression - the most important one:
How cool, your mum is intested enough to be in your picture, and you made both her and yourself look good!

Composition:
I like the composition you used there. There are quite a few comments that you received in voting, really it is up to you, but I think what you did was great.

Subject:
Mum and daughter ... this totally meets the subject.

Technical (Colour and light):
Couldn't get much better really.

To grow its vote?:
Add a baby or young .. I mean most of the top 20 have them - no not needed ... you got there without it.

Summary:
You have done some awesome work .. your portfolio really shows that, and you are going to continue to improve.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Cool portrait, love the white background with NO distractions!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Off white background works well. Clean crisp shot. Just wish they had a bit of asmile...Too serious perhaps???

Maybe...nice mother-daughter portrait!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/06/2006 06:45:56 PM
It is hard to tell, they could be sisters. Nice mother daughter portrait.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/06/2006 02:04:55 PM
Looks like a cool Mom...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 07:10:22 PM
The confident pose and expressions are what draw me most to this entry. Nice work!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 07:02:00 PM
You can tell they are mother and daughter. Same facial expression and way of holding those faces. Nice idea to shoot them in this way with no shoes and dressed alike. I also like the gray background as opposed to stark whiteness. Suits the shoot well.

Love this, great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good composition. Mom's hand on daughter's back is a little distracting, but not too much so. I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/03/2006 10:04:04 PM
Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is ok. Has potential of being really creative. - 5

Great shot? Are they sisters or Mother & Daughter? Good question.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/03/2006 05:54:32 PM
Cool, very cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/03/2006 05:42:26 PM
Good concept and well executed. I would've preferred to see more interaction between the models, either smiling at each other or just a slightly less stoic pose. Still sure to do well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/03/2006 02:14:53 PM
Should I assume that one of them is mother? Great capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/03/2006 12:27:56 PM
I love this portrait. From the posing to matching clothes, etc. 8

the only thing I don't like about this shot is the black socks. barefoot would have been so much better
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2006 03:55:00 PM
Great shot. I like that you paid attention to their clothing they wore for this shot. Very simple. I love that they are in their stocking feet.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2006 03:36:07 PM
Nice portrait! Great pose and lighting. Yup they do look like they could be sisters! :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2006 02:05:47 PM
Very nice shot. You need just a touch of fill light though to help seperate the two ladies. They blend into each other and I find that distracting...
