From the Critique Club:
This shot has so much potential that it is a joy to critique! I love your location. You have a good eye to spot such a location and associate it to this challenge. I love the repetition of the arches and brickwork. You have a good model and decent posing for the challenge. It would work fine but...
You picked the wrong time of day for this shot. There is just too much contrast. Your highlights are way to highlighted and to bring out the detail of the shadows makes it worse. Your background is a bit busy for this shot also. I have not seen this location but shooting from the other end of the prominade might have helped.
If you have the opportunity, I would definately recomend going back and reshooting this scene. I recomend going either late morning or early evening. This will help to even out the exposure. You may even get some very cool night shots depending on the lighting in the area.
Good eye, can't wait to see more shots with this potential fluffed out a little.
Yours

| This is a good concept and a great looking location. The composition is good. In photos, most often the brightest areas tend to draw the eye strongest. In this image the bright sunlight is drawing the attention very strongly away from your subject, I feel. I might suggest in this situation, trying a different time of day, or different weather to get better lighting conditions. |

| I sort of feel everytime I look at a title in this challenge, if it is not a word that alludes to or implies desolation it is then more the word chosen (in your case wretchedness) than desolation. But in your case I think this image does encompass desolation of a sort. Perhaps the desolation of spirit that you are depciting is diluted too much in the space around the human. Somehow a little closer in with selective inclusion of burned out highlights or whatever would emphasize the desolate feeling. |

| You did a good job trying to capture a difficult lighting situation, but I think the background is a little too blown out, I may have tried to have the model and foreground alittle darker so the highliights would be alittle less blown out. just a suggestion |

| Blown out highlights needed to be corrected. |

| Very harsh lighting, in fact the background has almost blown out. |

| This one could have been really cool if you had nailed the lighting. I think the background lighting is too harsh. You might have tried to darken this one as the "wretchedness" is a dark subject. I think the time of day had something to do with it. Early morning or later evening would have been better I think. |
