First off I think this is a very interesting picture... I like what you did with it.
Composition - the composition of this appeals to me. Granted it is not classical composition but I like it all the same! I love the way the lines of the umbrella lead to "her" face.
Exposure - The exposure on this shot seems excellent to me! You got all the colors and nothing looks burnt out. Nice job on that!
Color - the color here is wonderful! Nice and bright, and very attractive.
Focus - once again, you've done a great job! Especially good at getting the glasses so sharp!
Background - I think the background would have been better with solid black, or something solid. The double colored detracts from the face which is what you want the viewer to pay attention to. You used what you had on hand though, and thats understandable. Great thinking on using the umbrella however, because the busy street, or whatever is behind the "girl" would have been distracting!
Fit For Challenge - here's where I have a bit of a problem. To me, her facial expression looks like she is smiling, and enjoying the rain. I don't see that she is feeling blue. However, adding the blue glasses was a great touch, and probably made it fit better. Maybe a more appropriate title would have been seeing blue. Just a suggestion...
Lighting - not bad. There is a somewhat bright spot at the top of her head, but otherwise I think this is wonderful. Nice job.
Wowability - Hey... I like it! It catches your eye... it's a hell of a lot more interesting then some of the blue pics, and its very different.
Overall wonderful job. I really liked this photo, and I think the only thing that subtracted points from it, was that it didn't look like it was feeling blue. Could have fit the challenge a tad bit better. This is great though, and I suggest you go and show the artist... I think she'll like it! Nice job! |

| Modern art is not my thing at all. So I'm going to just give you a 5. This shouldn't hurt you and I don't know what it really is. Sorry. PTL |

challenge -- met
composition (content) -- the landscape format works well here with the tilted head. the colors on the head are nice, the glasses are a great additional touch.
background -- i'm not too thrilled about the background, mainly because the thingybobs (that's the technical term ;) that keep the umbrella open are too close the the head. maybe if you'd taken that photo from a little further to the left (assuming other extraneous stuff in the background allowed that) would have separated the two better).
camera work (technical) -- nice colors, good job avoiding reflections on the glasses.
digital processing (technical) -- looks fine to me.
my opinion -- a nice shot, just a tad too busy overall for my personal liking.

| there is enough going on in the face so that you don't need that much going on in the background. a solid colored umbrella would have worked better, too much going on, no where for the eye to be led to. |

Very cool head.
I would of liked this much better if the umbrella was out of the background. I appreciate your work and it's sure within our challenge along with in focus, clean and clear. Justine |
