Welcome.

Thanks for criticism.

This image is really unacceptable,out of focus,lacking in clear composition just a mess,but on the bright side we all have to start somewhere,please don't take my harsh comments personally it 's all about the image itself,good luck with your future work I'm sure it will improve!

Hey but your frame matches her outfit and that's what really counts. Who cares about image quality, sharpness, and a good background, when you have a turquiose frame.

Thank you, Michael and Will, for your feedback both harsh and sarcastic! Yes, bad photograph technically, I accept, but expression, pose, colour, etc.? I find it an interesting example of how direct flash can work, in that it (over?) emphasizes the sparkle of the costume.

Anyway, thanks for the comments, I don't get too many, please look at the rest of my portfolio...
