Critique Club feedback:

You have an eye for an attractive pose and a composition that works very well for the scene.

Shooting into the sun is very difficult, and while you managed to save a lot of detail in the subject the cost was an overexposure of the sky which robbed a lot of detail out of that flowing piece of cloth she is holding.

If you have(or can buy or make) a reflector, this is the perfect sort of shot to use it on. You can reduce your exposure a bit and save the sky and the details in the cloth by having the reflector bounce some of that light back up into the model's face.

I also think the Gaussian Blur is a little on the heavy side here, but that could be an artistic decision on your part so run with it.

Good job!

Awesome. the lighting is so beautiful. And I love the movement. I had given it an 8 during voting. I'm surprised it didn't score higher.

Nice capture - Like the tones and pose - The tattoo if it is one is a little distracting for me as it looks a little like a bruise! Sorry
