Hello Sonali

A nice candid shot of the girl. The square crop and framing work fine. A few suggestions to improve it. First the background is busy and light in tone I would clone out the distracting elements and darken it to reduce competition with the subject. I find the tones to be dark on her especially on the shadow side. I would brighten up the shadows to help focus the attention on her. I did a quick edit to show what I mean and posted it here.

Thank you so much Greg for your valuable comment. I have checked the edit done by you. I know the BG is bit distracting, but I didn't want to manipulate the BG to keep the natural look that is there. However it is worth trying your suggestion. Regards.

hi sonali. i read with attention what Gregory wrote. at my opinion, your corect choise of f3 make the bg not at all in competition with the face. and at the same time gives an "outdoor feeling" that add reality to the photo. about the dark tones, well, we are on the screens.. at mine is all ok, we had to see a print. is a very nice photo, bravo

Thank you Andrea for your feedback. Me too thought likewise. Regarding the dark tones- it always puzzles me how to adjust the screen brightness. It creates a distance between the creator and the viewer! Thank you so much and Regards.
