::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
This is so cute ... and the shoes fit so well.

Composition:
Two things and these are from total learning expereicne - always iron the background ... even if it is to be left hanging ... the creases of non ironed products show more than any others.

She is really very centred in the frame ... I find that looking to the rule of thirds helps me to frame up my shots and not go for the nicely centred looking happy kind of snap.

Subject:
Meets the challenge ... and does so very well.

Technical (Colour and light):
Take real note here of what photojennic and mellismatica are saying about having her close to the background and also the type of flash used. These are things to learn from for your next challenges.

To grow its vote?:
Always try other crops and different angles ... personally I think that changing and looking at the shot from a voters point of view helps when editing .. so you realise what will and won't work (this is learned and not intuative I think).

Summary:
Keep shooting .. you have some skills here to build with ... and a great model ... (should see mine hehehe).

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

:) I really like this picture. Maybe because this is exactly how I ruined my mom's favorite white high-heel sandals when I was 5 or so. :) Dressed like a princess, waltzing around in them for hours, and then the heel broke :)
Good luck!

In keeping with the challenge you could crop to the elbows up - way cute tiny feet in fancy shoes - with the shimmering pink would be lovely. The shadows on the side of your subject could be cropped out or avoided altogether by moving your subject away from the backdrop or not using the flash - your choice.

The direct flash gives this a harsh appearance. The subject, a young girl, wearing pink, against a pink background, calls for much softer lighting.
