This was one of the most rushed photo shoots I have ever done. I've been really wanting to shoot a challenge for quite some time now, and my roommates convinced me to do this one at the last minute. This is my roommate Katy. I thought that the red and green might be nice for this time of year. I wish her mouth was in focus, but none of the other shots had an expression I liked as much as this one. But above all else, I'm submitting this because I felt like shooting again so I decided to do it no matter what I think the outcome may be. This may bomb, this may do well. I'm hoping at least a 5.5, but we'll see. Hope someone out there enjoys this! :)

Have your model put her tongue on the roof of her mouth when she smiles. She has a beautiful smile and it's an excellent portrait, but there is a little too much of her upper gum showing above her teeth. Her tongue on the roof of her mouth will alleviate this and you will have an awesome shot.

Focus is just on the fringe and slightly off on the eyes which kills this for me. Whites of eyes have a red colour cast, lipstick on teeth and multiple catch lights on eyes. Green colour is not of the same order of saturation as the red and so is a little unbalanced. Well composed though. Questionable border - would have been better to have used the same green colour as the average green in the image rather than RGB 0, 255, 0

A bit out of focus

catchy shot. I'd really love to see what this looks like with the aperture stopped down a little more to bring more of her face and smile in focus.

I wish the green was a little more intense. Nice shot though!
