Interesting use of color and black and white in the same picture to create an effect. I'm not challenging, but is this legal?

Hey there from the Critique Club

Cool idea, and a nicely lit and exposed capture. There are two things that strike me as needing some attention in this shot. First, as mentioned by hideout, the pink hair ribbons really wash her face out, thus distracting from her expression. This is a biggie to watch out for when doing portrait-type work. Secondly, those chopped off elbows leave me looking to the edge of the frame, instead of at the subjects in the shot. Chopping off limbs, especially at major joints, hurts composition. It also looks like she was cutout, I think because of the dodging around her hair. Excellent choice of expression and wonderful clothing for this shot. It meets the challenge well, and, with some minor adjustments, this one would have scored a great deal better I believe.

Cute shot, Deannda! It's wonderful how much of a family activity photography is for all of your family; that's probably my favorite thing about your work. It just warms my heart. Technically, you also did a good job here. The only thing I can see that might have got a better reaction is if Melissa's shirt were a solid color that matched or complimented either her hair ribbon or Ellie's shirt. I wish I had a pure white wall like that!

Deannda, this is Melissa, right? Cool, I like the selective desat. I also like the diagonal alignment of their heads. 10

HA HA HA This is funny. Not sure if I love the selective saturation, but the movement and sentiment is great.
