Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are rich, saturation is not overdone, and hues are realistic. Skin tones are done particularly well.

Brightness and contrast: Brightness is spot on. Contrast is good, but there are a couple of highlight areas on the shirt that appear to be at the edge of burnout. Not bad, but borderline. Something to keep an eye on.

Focus and dept of field: Focus is nice and sharp. Depth of field looks a tiny bit short. The subjects right hand is far enough forward that it is starting to go soft.

The dark area to the lower left of the subject comes across as a bit odd. The chair to the subject's left and the red wall form one horizon, and then it suddenly changes. The right elbow is cut off by the edge of the image, and detracts a bit. If the subject would be posed with the hand an arm a bit further back, the focus and elbow issue, would both dissapear.

Overall, a nicely done, very humerous image. Nice work.

. . .and proud of it!

Funny.

The shadow off the left side of the girl's face is a little distracting. Also, the couch and denim material clutter things up a bit.
