Greetings from the Critique Club

I really like this shot. I didn't vote but if I had it would have scored well from me.

Composition: While the subject is in the center of the frame, her arm bending backwards pulls her into the left half of the frame. The cutoff elbow, I'm not so sure about.

Technical: The lighting from the window sure seems overblown. I think it works and it also adds a lot of depth to the image in that we start to wonder what she is looking at as it is in such a bright void. The bright light pulls our eyes to the models face and to a lesser extent, her breasts. You've added a lot of grain to the image but I guess that's what the challenge was about. I'd like to have seen a bit more contrast in the B&W conversion as your model seems to merge in with the background a bit much.

Feel: As I said, I like it. There's a sense of mystery in the image.

Don't think the grain improves this image and the whole thing appears washed out. I think it needs a little more contrast.

too centered to realize its full potential. either more behind or in front to help tell her story: is she trapped, shy, longing to go outside but afraid to, unable to. or is she simply day-dreaming? lots of possibilities here, just need to work on the composition.

Very '60's feel about this. Lovey
