*Critique Club*

First off congrats on your second challenge. It is really hard to put yourself out there with a piece to have other judge and critique you. I think the subject is excellent for the challenge. I think the lighting itself is a little distracting in the shot. The shadows are almost to dark and over powering. Also I think the focus could have been a little stronger, even if it just one point that you focus on it would give the viewers an exact point for the focus. The subjects overall placement is a little off it isn't quite center and isn't quite off to one side or another to fit the frame. I would play with the shot itself a little, that's usually what I try to look at. I would try placing the light from below to see how that enhances the shot, I don't think putting the light above would result in the effect you were looking for. Also I would either tighten your crop or bring it out a little more. Keep up the good work, and hopefully this helps you.

Whilst the lighting on the torso and face is effictive, the clutter created by the branches and their shadows are a little distracting.
