Comment by Mambe:
The photo is very good , the tones and composition are excellent but the nails are too bad ;-). Ok , it's just a detail but I would have vote higher . My vote : 7

The neckline leading out of the frame is distracting. Makes the crop seem too tight. Beautiful girl needed some lipstick and a blue shirt.

Nice, but if they'd been Benjamins, it may have been even more impactful!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition:

I definitely agree with your commenters with regards to the placement of the model in this shot. The models pose is good but to fit the challenge she would have looked better in the distance with the train track leading the viewer to her. I am also wondering what would have been behind her if you took the image the other way, as it is at the moment I find the background too busy and distracting.

Technicals:

Portraits are not an area I know very much about at all but I will do my best to offer some advice. First of all, to me, the lighting looks very dull. There is no real detail in the models face and the colours don't 'pop'. It was obviously not the brightest of days so that hasn't helped here. Also the background has a slight out of focus look (it could be my eyes!), I would like to either see a shallower depth of field or have the background completely in focus.

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

Pretty clever. I guess I was being too anal as I saw three things: clock and 2 one dollar bills. I need to get out more.
