Greetings from the Critique Club

You had a great idea - as you know, another version of this idea is on the front page, right now. And you scored well on your version as well.

I have two thoughts on why you didn't score even higher than you did (5.39 isn't bad, you know). The white feather boa is a little 'hot' against the white background, and doesn't really stand out very well. A different colored backdrop would have been terrific, but we work with what we have. In such cases, I usually recomment bracketing your shots to get the most out of exposure and depth of field to try to get rid of the hot spots.

The other problem, and a slight one, is the fact that those nice legs had to be held up by hands which showed. If the legs could have been braced diferently, that probably would have made a big difference.

Okay, all that said, you have a splendid image. You were correct to tell your story simply. Too much detail would have destroyed the poetry you have going here.

Keep up the good work. You'll be our youngest front page winner yet.

Nice arrangement and lines, wish for different lighting and more detail to avoid the blown-out boa.

Cute idea, but your model looks to be straining to hold her position.
