::: Greetings from Critique Club :::
Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
Comes across as being a processed snapshot to me. Title seems to shoehorn the photo into the challenge.
Composition:
It's ok for a portrait. But it lacks any real pop to make it artistically sound. Also, the unmanaged hair isn't framing the face well.
Subject:
Clear and stands out well from the background.
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color: The B&W treatment is a bit flat. A curves adjustment to add more midtone contrast would help quite a bit.
Focus: sharp, looks nice.
Light: A little flat, also there is a hot spot on the end of her nose and above her eye that are a bit distracting.
To grow its vote?:
Lucky kinda summed up what most voters probably thought when voting. Overall, it comes across as a snapshot.
Summary:
Nice photo of your friend, I'm sure she will like it. And, it's a keeper for that reason. It just didn't work well for this challenge.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy |
