This is Roxie ... actually it is my younger daughter, dressed in her costume for her musical theatre number. Tis the season of the dance competitions. I think there is enough yellow in this shot to satisfy the criteria for the challenge. I was kinda going for a high key feel. BTW her first attempt with this dance and she scored a first place with a Gold medal. I hope the shot does as well :)

i love the shot, but becuase everything is yellow except the red lips, the red seems to be the focus to me.

I like that you chose more subtle yellows and added the flashy red.

Bumping up now. Very lovely portrait, while some may disagree that it meets the challenge, (not enough yellow) I think it's perfect and gave you a 9 second time through.

Well, I don't want to be mean, but the rules are yellow and you didn't focus on the yellow at all on this picture. This is more about the girls face and the red lips and the washed out yellow top falls totally into the background. Other then that nice portrait.

The model has the poise and look to certainly invoke the idea of Roxie from Chicago, but the composition needs some improvement. First their are some rosy tones present in the skin but they are getting slightly washed out her and there and I think an exposure that is less 'overexposed' would help not only bring out the rich rosy tones in skin color but also in overall hue of the colors present. For the composition you really wanted the yellow/blonde hues of the hair & the straps to the top/dress to really 'pop' for the Yellow Challenge. As it stands here those rich, bold or vibrant hues are missing - they are too washed out. The color that really pops is those red lips. The red lipstick really calls attention to itself and is the hue that is most vibrant, bold and eye-catching. Not what you wanted because it robs attention away from the yellow hues you wish to be front & center in this composition. The white background is probably not helping - a darker background such as black would help those hues really pop especially the hue tones in the blonde hair.
