Karolina

Michal,

Very natural. Nicely captured.

Beautiful. She's very sharp and the depth of field is perfect.  I think the fact she is a bit tilted and not just standing parallel really makes this a dynamic shot.

Fantastic photo, I am really drawn to this image!

very good portrait with a special expression of this beautiful model. Perfect composition and DOF. I could imagine it in portrait format with the model completely pictured. Regards, Burak

Stunning!

Purely a suggestion.......................................................

Michal,

Karolina is a beautiful girl. You have focused well on her eyes. She has very good eye contact with the camera (viewer) -- great catchlights. Her expression adds a lot of interest to her portrait. The lighting is very good. The background is just enough out of focus that it allows Karolina to stand out nicely. 

This is one of those times where placing your subject using the rule of thirds works well. There is enough of interest on the left side of the picture to balance her placement on the right side. The leading lines do a wonderful job of directing the viewer right to Karolina.

Her dress, even though it is relatively short in length, still gives the viewer the feeling it is an elegant gown. This may be partly attributed to the location and her refined expression. There is a very aristocratic feeling to this portrait.

The only thing that I find bothersome is the exposure and perhaps the contrast. It could be lighter with a tad more contrast. It looks a bit muddy (to gray overall) to me.

Nice shot,

Mark

Michal,

  A unique composition!  She is positioned to photo right with her gaze going further in that direction and my eyes want to follow to where she is looking.  Yet, simultaneously, the pillers repeat to the left and ask my eyes to move in that direction to explore them.  The result is a perfect compositional tug of war, where I keep returning to her face to get re-established.  Any picture that keeps the viewer's eyes occupied like that is a great image in my book!

  I do wonder if the depth of field were much greater how the effect would change.  Would it be enhanced with everything sharp or not?  My suspicion is that your present DOF works best.  Did you try any variations?

What a beautiful composition and tones.
