Greetings from the Critique Club
by Inspzil

Composition - My first impression is that this is a candid snapshot. The background is really cluttered and the light is probably coming out of a window near a table. The light is very nice and soft. If she wasn't hunched over her knees, her expression and the lighting provided would have made an outstanding portrait. Actually it is a very nice picture, but I don't really think its challenge material. That's just one person's opinion though. Where are the shoes she's tying? I guess we'll just have to take your word for it.

Technical - Not a badly taken photo aside from the arm that is probably moving to tie the shoes. Its nice and clear and properly lit. Exposure is good. Processing stuff really isn't too much of an issue

Overall - A nice snapshot, but not really challenge worthy stuff IMO. Actually not that far away from it though. The background is really a killer on this photo. Sorry I don't have too much to say about this. Honestly I think its not far away from being really good. - Inspzil

Wonderful skin tones. Nice big eyes. I know this was candid, but the background detracted from the face and hair and lighting.

cant really be candid if the subject is looking at you, cant it?

The colors of this photo are nice. The subject dosen't look too thrilled.

But where's the shoe??

Um, I seem to be unable to actually see the "shoe tie". Pretty nice clear shot of a lovely young lady, but a very distracting background. And the title refers to something I can't see, so that kind of takes away from the experience for me.

ahhh yeah i can hear it now " COULD YOU PLEASE PUT THE CAMERA AWAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE?" hahaha
02/04/2003 03:42:03 PM
I'd like to see the next shot when she realises what you are doing :)

Where's the shoe lace???

she has that too-familiar-to-ever-be-cliché look that says: "can you help me tie my shoe?" neatest of the "candid" shots.

You included shoetie in the title, but you can't actually see her tying her shoes, plus this isn't exactly a candid as she is looking directly at the camera and obviously knows your there. I prolly wouldn't have used ths title. It bothers me that her hands are cut off at the wrists and the fact that your lighting is uneven, there must be a window somewhere to the left?! The colors are good, and I think the focus is good, but overall not a very interesting photo.

Nice picture, though it doesn't really look like 'candid' picture.
