The Avocado Tree Murder

Please post your critique about my first shot in photo.net

Just beautiful! Very good composition and lighting.I don't really like is the blue border, too bright for me. The shoes are a little bright too but thats nit picking it much. Its a very good photo

Great picture, but I too would tone down the left corner including the shoes and the tree the feet are on. I also would tone down the left sky a bit but leave it the brightest directly behind him/her to keep the feeling of depth. Even the bottom of the coat could go down slightly to draw you more to the face. With some minor work you have a wonderful shot here.
