 This was a fun shoot although I think my friend hates me for it. This is requiring talking a friend of mine to hold a large metal boom with 4 speed flash is attached to it, and transparent umbrellas. As you noticed we had a great deal of wind on the beach that evening. His arms hurt for a few days, sacrifices we make for art. Minor color adjusting a little bit face retouching…. In general I wanted to just nice exposed sunset with some great dramatic lighting.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An excellent figure study assumed to meet the challenge.

This is a very capable study worthy of all the aching limbs and effort involved! I like your composition and her pose, the windy evening gives it another dynamic, the exposure is good through most of the image. I also like the shape and colours in the shawl she is holding and the way it is blown by the wind.

There are two issues that needed a bit more attention to detail, one is the slight cropping of the shawl, there is a lot of base that could easily have been sacrificed to get all of the shawl in frame. The other is the sloping sea!

This is generally good submission that was up against the toughest competition, well done, Sid
