I agree Leroy

I was away and I tried hard but could not find a flat wall without some distractions so this is how it came out. Not Studio looking.

::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
A nice portrait, but doesn't seem quite studio to me.

Composition:
The crop is just a very little bit tight for a traditional portrait. It's not bad though.

Subject:
This is just part of my template. The subject is clearly seperated from the b/g though.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
All good, but I'd like to see a little more USM in your post process.

To grow its vote?:
Hard challenge, but I think a more solid background would have given it the studio look the voters were looking for.

Summary:
OK, it seems that I may sound a bt negative in my critiue so far. But, I like this portrait. It shows a very flattering photo of your sis with much character. All-in-all, I think you took a great photo of her.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

The lighting and focus on your subject is really good, but the background fence is a bit of a distraction. The crop used, head only, does not lend to a portrait feeling which might hurt you for this challenge. So, another approach might be a more shallow depth of field. to better blur the background, and a crop to include more shoulders and torso.

Wow! That's a digital background, isn't it? I could only wish to create an image so clear and perfectly lit in the outdoors. lol Good job.

Photography is many things, maybe, but a portrait's a portrait and this one is most remarkable for the way in which the camera and the subject seem to have come to an agreement - made a deal - and it's a good one.

Not bad but needs sharper eyes to really "pop".

Nice pic, but it had to be in a studio setting, not outside
