Thank you for submitting your photo to DPC People II challenge.

Your photo is nicely done. It presents the subject in a soft mood or ambiance. This is a good example of a protrait shot. Your subject selection is also good. She gives off a soft and delicate vibe. The choice of a black and white style gives it a timeless classic appeal.

What is missing is the contrast to the white areas in your photo. Some of the facial area's appear understated. There is also room for more detailed sharpness in the facial elements. Somehow the religious cross seems to shine in comparison to other parts of the image.

Another approach could have been a direct shot of the subject where her eyes could have been accessible. My preference would have been the way that you submitted the photo with some shadow and highlight editing.

Good job, of a protrait photo. Simple, yet elegant in its style.

Good luck in your next DPChallenge.

A sweet face with delicate tones and a soft focus that is pleasing.

Beautiful girl but lighting and angle do not seem to really capture the best of her.

Another portrait. Something lacking here. The lighting is too even perhaps? It looks flat, not a lot of range to the image. Would be nice if the eyes were a bit sharper - more impact.

She looks rather stiff and uncomfortable, giving this picture an overly-staged feel.

I'm sure this model is very expressive and just beams in person. This shot however doesn't show that. The blur and overall flat lighting don't flatter her. A shot playing to the camera may have the impact needed to show her radiance to the audience.

Good portrait, but I would like to see more of the eyes
