::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
While this is technically a good photography and looks really charming, I feel that it is a bit tight to feel candid.

Composition:
Composition here is ok for a quick candid portrait, but zooming out and moving your subject more the the right of the image would have created a much stronger composition.

Subject:
Subject is clear and well defined.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
All your technicals are good. Colour is nice and warm. Focus is sharp (love the diffusuion BTW) and you've used light well here.

To grow its vote?:
I feel the voters wanted to see a bigger crowd for this challenge, at least that's what the results kind of show.

Summary:
Good image, great capture of this girl and really good post-process.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Good use of light in addition to DOF to emphasize your subject.

Crowd? Am I the only person that needs more than one or two other people for a crowd? This is a nice portrait and you have isolated a subject from the background but there was more to the challenge then that--you were supposed to isolate a single subject from a *crowd*. One other girl does not make a crowd.

"Drop your fear of candids this week and single-out a person in a crowd as your source of composition. Use minimal depth-of-field to your advantage to help isolate your subject, and as always, be creative"

Nice pose and tones here. Not really a "crowd" here though. The soft focus on the foreground girl doesn't help this a lot in my opinion and would have been a bit better had she been clear/sharp. (5)

Nice shot, the composition is a bit boring

foreground focus and lighting are very good. your background subject's stare seems much more intense and much more interesting to me,i guess i wish the focus was flipped (though if that's your daughter in the hat, you might not agree ;) ). even with that, i still feel the composition could use another element or person as it seems unbalanced at the moment
