Brittany on swing

Thanks for comments.

I like this image. Not becuase it is a particularly good or flattering "portrait" in the highschool yearbook, give it to all your buddies sense, but because of the intensity of your sitters look, and the raw, but clearly composed aspects of the image give it an edginess, that I don't want to look away from. There is a great history of similar images, unfortunately Iam not coming up with a lot of names right now, but look at William eggleston and you will see what I mean. If in on the other hand you are going for highschool yearbook, (which is fine too) do something that is more flattering to your subject. For example her head looks small in comparison to her legs. which are certainly muscular, so show that off!

Lots of possibilities in this stlye. Good luck!

I think Katherine pretty much summed it up. I like this picture so don't read me wrong. Limiting the DOF would help, the background is a little too in focus to my eye, has a little too much of a snapshot quatlity. Wonder what a B&W would look like

The DOF is OK for me I don't think it needs any correction. She's so beautiful and even more beautifully portraited. The choice of leaving much of the surroundings inside the composition is a plus.

 

The color diference of her face skin and her legs one makes me curious, was she using panties?

Nestor, thanks for your comments. Yes, she has on tights as part of her dance costume.
