Greetings from the Critique CLub -

You have a nicely composed image here with the placement of your model and the window. The colors on your model are very pleasing as well.

A couple of issues would be the sharpness of your model - a bit more in focus would be nice, and the blending of the staircase rail against the back wall. A bit mroe separation would have been nice IMO. And maybe a bit of a smile. She looks a bit tense, but thats not a major issue. Just something I was feeling.

This is in general a nice pic. Nothing really WOW about it but also nothing really bad about it either which came through in the voting curve. I am sure you know how DPCers want that wow factor to give out higher scores to. This falls short there. All that said, I would love to have an image like this on my camera. That would mean I got to hang at the Canary Islands. ;)

Keep on shooting and I look forward to seeing your future work.

Tim

great composition. the stairs and the window add interest to what would otherwise be a fairly standard portrait.

Would've been nice if she smiled, relaxed a little...
