You must read this with the understanding that I neither understand nor appreciate the art of the 'studio portrait' in any sense ...
She looks shockingly like an old girlfriend of mine - now, that's scary enough in tis own right. I've no idea what's supposed to be wrong with this shot - usually those that score in this range have a few obvious drawbacks, but here - well, it seems an honest, accurate, relaxed, even perceptive representation to me. What's to criticise, or for that matter critique? There's an amusement about this face, a sense of wit and alertness that I find quite approachable - but that's about the model rather than the photograph - and as a photograph it's just a technicaly assured piece of competence - but then, in what sense is not all studio portraiture exactly that? I think you did a good job with the lighting - but I was once a lighting designer, and all that stuff seems second nature to me, and therefore by definition not praiseworthy: because oit serves a purpose, and is not an end in itself. |

| Very nice. I like how you have highlights in the hair which prevent that part of the image from being bland. |

| Nice pose. The lighting and focus are good. Not crazy about the background. It would have worked a tad better for me had it been more subtle or maybe a solid color. 7 |
