Critique Club Review:
Technical: Focus and depth of field are excellent. Color, saturation and hue are excellent as well. Even the brightest areas are not burned out, yet whites do not look dingy. Skin tones are natural, other colors are not over processed, which is desireable in this photo.
Reaction: I like the pose. The white shirt may be a little clean or out of place for a real cowgirl. White doesn't stay white long on a working ranch. I love the texture of the barn, but at teh same time wonder of the picture might work a bit better if it were softened a bit through a shallower depth of field. While it is beautiful, it does compete a little bit. Only other thing is I wish I could see what she is looking at.
Overall an excellent photo. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

| Wow... beautiful shot. I love the colors. Not crazy about the border, but I rarely care for them. The shot, though, is fantastic! |

| I got this one really high on my sheet, unfortunately I bet your getting those nagging "I don't like the border commentors", well pssh...on them. I like it very much, and I think it is a fantastic image. |

| the muted tones and pose show a sensitivity that a "face" portrait would not have been able to capture. The diagonal compostion is well-done One of my favorites this challenge |

| Wonderful capture. "Essence of the person" ??? Well, the environment fits, although some activity that shows she's a cowgirl would help sell the story a little better. Nonetheless - an image to be proud of. Good luck in the challenge. |
