Hello, and greetings from the Critique Club. What follows is my best attempt to Critique this photo from a DPC voter's point of view. I'll do my best, but please excuse any comments that may be unintentionally rude or insulting.
Initial Thoughts
Something a little too artificial about this..
Composition/Content
Compositionally, there's not much I can comment on, It's got a nice feel. However, the model, to me, lacks a comfortability factor which makes this shot seem a little artificial and too .. fabricated.
Background
A nice neutral background, no complaints
Camera Work/Technical
Lacks a touch of the sharpness that most DPC voters tend to love, and doesn't have that "intentionally soft" feel. This is also contributed by the lack of contrast, giving the model a very flat look without much depth.
Digital Processing
No information, but I would suggest working on contrast and trying to bring some depth into your model. Darken the shadows, bring out the highlights in the skin tones more, etc.. also, some work with USM to sharpen the photo up a little more will help too.
Fits the Challenge
No arguements here, it does that well.
My Opinion of the Photo
A nice attempt, but a little more natural emotion from the model and less discomfort would give a more natural feel. |

| Very nice lighting, but the focus is a bit soft on the eyes. |

A little catchlight in her eyes and this would be perfect!

| I don't think she looks particularly innocent, but I do like this image. I like the way the model is looking at the camera and the way the pose fits the frame. |

| Very nice. I like the pose and the way you filled the frame really adds impact. The only thing holding this back, IMO is the eyes could have been sharper and brighter in the retina. |

| Nice portrait well composed, but focus and sharpness needs to be more prominent on the eyes in my view. |
