Purple Dress

Hi everyone,

C&C welcomed to help me improve on this image

thank-you

Raymond

There seems to be an imbalance in the lighting from the left to the right side of the image, the models right hand side is over exposed and blown out a little and the left hand side is under exposed and a little darker also hence the shadows on the LH side.

A pop up reflector would allow you to bounce some of the light on to the LH side or slightly re-position the model to create a neutral lighting scenario.

I would also move you copyright, its distracting where it is positioned now, if you need to use one, then place it more obscurely, thus not detracting from the image.

Hope its helpful, good capture none the less

Hi Raymond

I do agree with Colin about the lighting balance, but there is enough detail to balance that in printing I think.

The other change I would make is to crop the image square with the modi slightly offset from center.

All my best, Bill

Hello Raymond

I feel the subject to be too centred for the rectangular format and might suggest a square crop or trimming some off the right hand side. I find her skin to be too light and too cool. The low light angle would be to mimic late day sun I'm guessing which would be warm. I did an edit to show what I mean for your consideration, just my 2 cents.

Regards

Greg

thanks for the great comments everyone!

I'll work hard to try to improve on these points for my next photo!
