thank you for critiques

Did you want the red band across the picture? I think this could have been nice without that.

I don't like the red band, whether it's supposed to be there or not. A red band might work elsewhere in the image, like across the torsos. The red band would give meaning that these two girls are joined within (as they are also holding hands). Red band aside, the girls are too dark, flash would have really brought out their features and the colours of their clothes. I also would have tilted the camera more down to include the whole flip flop and not have it anchored to the bottom of the page. I would also get down to their level.

Thank you for your words.

 

the red band is a light leak in the camera (pentax me). It was not on purpose.

Jaki, that happens to all of us. Keep shooting. I like the naturalness of your shot.
