Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image: I like it, and I see that you are on a pumpkin theme this month. Nice work, but I think that the exposure is just a little too low. I also agree somewhat with Patrick regarding the warmth.

My ideas for improvement: Let the exposure go for another second or two. Not only would this brighten up the pumpkin, it would also nicely light the rest of the image. Then, I'd cool down the white balance just a touch to take away just a little of the warm colors in the scene.

Where I would have/did score this entry: I did vote on this one and I gave it a 6. I like the concept, and I like the subject matter. It was a toss between a 5 and a 6 for me, but I gave the rare benefit of the doubt and tossed out a 6.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Very nice composition, use of available light is wonderful. I particularly like the backlit strands of hair. The focus on the hat as opposed to her eyes is a bit distracting. But all in all, a keeper for sure. Nice job.

Nice capture of the glow. What is the stuff in the bottom right? The background adds some interest to the scene.

Outstanding use of the natural light, and I like the composition very much (in a church...cross shape in the window. One of those "ah-ha!" moments). Her expression and peach-coloured clothing really add to the image IMO. Nicely done.
