CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat
The quality of this shot is very good. The details are visible, and it is well lit/exposed. The black and white is okay, but I can't help but wonder what the color version would look like.
I think a couple of things could be done to really make this an awesome shot. First of all, a lower camera angle would have "emphasized" the child more. Right now, it has a "snapshot" feeling to it instead of a "portrait" feeling because the viewer is looking down on her. However, this will really bring up some stuff in the background that you may not want to see, so a tighter crop, even allowing some of the car to "exit' the frame might have to be done.
If you want to leave it like it is, though, I would strongly recommend cropping the top so that the car and house is not showing. Also, by cropping it as closely to the "car" as you have, it feels very tight and cramped. Maybe "loosening" it a little on either side, or cropping it so that some of it is not shown, might work.
I think you have chosen an excellent subject. I, for one, appreciated the humor you portrayed, and the take on the challenge. This is a shot that you, or the parents of the child if it is not you, will enjoy for years. Best to you in future challenges.

You could crop the XXX at the top a little to lose the distracting elements and put the cutie on a hotspot. I don't know if B/W was the right choice here. |

A bit of a stretch for transportation and I think this would habe made a better color photo. Very crisp picture, though and I like the facial expression you captured. |
