Nice family photo. Good use of a natural eninviroment.

It looks like your subject is quite the artist (assuming she painted the cotton picture). Probably okay shot for a brochure, though fairly flat flash lighting and cluttered frame are real problems.

The shadow from the flash is really distracting and the light feels harsh.

Nice portrait.

She has a nice genuine smile. Unfortunate about the shadow from the flash though.

Nice smile, and I get the feeling that she's a painter or the cotton has some special meaning. Just a suggestion, but I would take out a couple of the items on the right to keep the focal point on your main subject.

Looks like there's a story here. Nice lighting and detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

She's very pretty and well-photographed... but without more hint I don't have any clue why there's so much stuff in the photo with her.

This must be someone close to you with some things she's proud of. The flash hurts this shot with shadows and glare. Since this is probably an old shot you picked and you couldn't re-shoot maybe you could have fixed it post-processing with dodge and burn and blur.

A little busy for mine.

Beautiful smile.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

maybe bounce the flash next time?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:02:20 PM
Is she the artist? A beautiful painting.

Nice portrait and a beautiful drawing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Neat shot of an artist and her work. A bit more contrast might compensate for the bright cast in the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:01:53 PM
I feel that there is too much going on. She has a beautiful smile, but somehow it got overpower by all that stuff on the background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 01:29:06 PM
Nice portrait, although it lacks contrast probably due to lighting problems.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:06:25 AM
nice portrait
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A little snapshotish for me. To many shadows and poor light but she looks like a very lovely woman.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:30:10 PM
Good idea but a little off for me. Maybe the subject needs to be more centered and the lighting a bit better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:31:23 PM
Can't really decide what the subject of the photo is... maybe too much going on. Technically well done :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:12:59 PM
the direct flash does not create an image that is too appealing especially with the harsh shadows.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:59:33 AM
Lighting could be better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:27:19 AM
maybe a wider shot to add more to her left would have scored a little higher from me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:06:59 PM
The composition is balanced, but the subjects seem very cramped in the frame. The lighting is a bit harsh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:35:15 PM
Is she the artist of the boll?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:13:36 PM
the light makes the shot a little flat, and it is too soft in my opinion
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:44:35 AM
I'm not a big fan of direct flash. If you can direct your flash, bounce it off the ceiling instead.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:00:43 AM
Nice expression. The objects distract from the subject... hard to decide what to look at. On-camera flash is a bit harsh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:30:36 AM
snap shoty
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:25:32 AM
colors a bit dull and flat, curves/levels
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:16:56 AM
Nice portrait. Maybe could use a little lift in contrast on her face.
