Roby

Alessandro,

Pretty girl -- Her skin tone is good and it appears that her make-up is well applied. The far background is nicely out of focus. The little white flowers add a nice feminine touch to the picture. Nicely saturated colors.

The position of her arms is not a bad "model" pose, but it is a bit tacky to be looking into her bare armpit. She is looking to the left of where her head is pointing. Not only does this look a bit strange because there is nothing obvious that she is looking at, but it allows too much of the whites on the left (her right) sides of her eyes to show. On the left side of the picture, almost to the top, something is showing. I don't know what it is (it could be metal), but is should be removed.

You could easily crop off the stuff on the right side of the picture. This would also get rid of the annoying purple flowers at the bottom right of the photograph. If you position the tip of her nose in the vertical center of the picture it will balance the left and right sides of the photograph. It will also provide room for her to look into the picture. She is doing that now, but there is way too much in front of her. Her right leg is in an awkward position. I would have her legs closer together. It is not very ladylike or even feminine to have her legs spread that far apart.

You have her posed straight on to the camera. This allows the widest part of Roby (shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip -- not that she is at all fat) to show. If you would turn her slightly she would be showing less to the camera. This would make her appear thinner, more feminine and more graceful.

Notice that her forearms are lighter than her face (especially her right forearm). This draws attention away from her face. She does not appear very happy. She has an unusual expression on her face. It may be that she just feels that she is in an awkward position?

Your name is not part of the photograph. It belongs on the mat. The only time your name belongs on a photograph is when you personally sign it and date it as a work of art. You would also write in the edition number if it is a limited edition.

Nice shot,

Mark

Well done!
