| I like this one, its prefect for the challenge. The colors are great! A little bit of purple/pink behind the leg kinda confuses me a bit. I think this should have placed much higher. |

You know, I'm not sure why I gave this a 5. I guess perhaps I was biased to more geometric designs. The picture, on second look, is pretty good. I'm really surprised by the 4.8. Maybe voters had the same bias.
The colors are very pleasing. The exposure is good and the picture is sharp except for the jean jacket which looks a bit soft. I'm not sure why only there, but it does. Maybe the lens. I dunno.
If I could vote over, I'd do a 6 for sure and maybe even a 7. The strongest aspect to this picture is the excellent complementary colors. The biggest problem, for your photography, is that she has her pants on. |

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yup. That's a shape. ;)
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? It's a departure from your last three entries. This one has clothes!
- Good focus? No. it's a bit out-of-focus, especially near the top and at the seam onear the pocket.
Lighting
- Good use of light? It's a little over lit, but that may have to do with the changing in background color. Give me some more shadows to show the textures more.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. Maybe try this as a B&W form or desaturate everything, but the blues only half way?
- What is my reaction or feelings? I'm trying to reconcile the title to the picture. A little sarcasm? As for the image I am left wanting more.

*Critique Club*
As you requested, here is your in depth critique from The Critique Club.
The first thing I noticed before reading your comments was the pink reflections on her pants. It is most clearly down the back of the left leg, the zipper area and her left knee. I figured there must have been some red lighting coming from somewhere, but upon reading your comments, realize that this is probably reflection from the (once) pink background. The pinkness stands out (at least to me) a lot and seems quite odd given the photo as a whole.
That being said, I like the yellow background, it's bright and attention getting and adds a bit of wow factor. There is a lot of visual appeal in this photo.
Focus and clarity are great. I like the texture it brings out in the pants.
I like the angle and the cropping as well. I think that it accentuates the 'shape' and makes it a very nice shot for the challenge as well.
Lighting is very nice, the only little shadows I notice are under the bottom of the jacket, and (while the one shadow also has the pink tint) I don't find them distracting at all.
Very nice shot, I really have no complaints or suggestions, other than the pink reflections on the pants where there is no apparent reason for the pants to be refecting pink. Not really sure how to fix the situation. Maybe if you did a saturation adjustment and desaturated all reds? Not sure if that would affect the rest of the photo, but worth a shot anyway.

Cute title. I think you should have on plaid in order to fit the title, jeans are always cool :-)

| This is a novel take on Shape, yet one that works very, very well. The shape of the leg is the story here. Nice pose, and the strong color contrast works well. You also have the texture of the denim to help balance the smooth background. Nicely done. 8 |

| Good background color, fun title (love puns), a touch soft on focus (maybe intended?) |
