Many fantastic aspects to this photo. It definitely was a perfect candidate for B&W. The sweet innocence of the model contrasts beautifully with the aged, wise, rough texture of the tree that she is holding onto.
The model may be posing but she has such a natural look and you can sense her apprehension at being photographed especially this close. If it's real then she is a great candid subject, if she is posing this way then she has some real talent.
Because of the B&W, her black clothing doesn't distract us from her fingers sticking out of the fingerless gloves. Her eyes also draw you in due to their large size and the darkness of her pupils.
Great photo. |

The tilting, 'in my opinion', gave the illusion of a slightly different pose (hard to explain) - just seemed more .. wistful, not so 'posed'/'direct'. All minor anyway and as I said, 'nitpicking' (aka - aiming for perfection). Ah - sorry. It's a beautiful shot regardless. edit:condensed/reworded

Well, I'm not sure how rotating it diminished the wistful look, but I suppose it's possible. I didn't do any editing to the face this time. Maybe the slight askewdedness caused her to look more wistful.

Yes, "in my opinion", it does. Although still the issue I mentioned that perhaps you've diminished the 'wistful' look by a whisker - but your call.. obviously. edit: grammar/removed quote & TN

Hey macronothing-
I did an arbitrary turn 1 degree counterclockwise. I also cloned out the snowflake on her sweater. Thanks for the tips. Does it seem improved? |

Very nice. Good clarity in the eyes. Two small 'nitpicks'; tree trunk looks like it is crooked by a whisker, but could be natural or a visual thing based on her clothing etc at the bottom (however 'straightening' may diminish the tilted pose, so who knows) and the white something bottom right in the dark pullover. edit:removed TN

| I like the way this girl's expressions every time. That has nothing to do with you, but that, in combination with your vision/composition/lighting and focus. You just have an amazing creation every time. |
