Hol

All critique welcome. Am I merely pissing in the wind?

My gut reaction was that I like it. As I look closer I see one difficult aspect to reconcile - the lights above her head give her a nice backlighting, but the row of lights that run right into her head are simultaneously distracting because of their placement. If there were a way to get the backlighting but not have her head the lights lined up, that would be ideal. I do like the strong lines throughout. Wish her face was sharper (her arm looks sharpest to me), but that could be the scan.

This one is very powerful. She appears to be almost confrontational in her attitude judging from the eyes. The aperture was open a little too wide for this one. This explains the overexposure. Take Hollie back and get another shot using a few different f stops. Experiment! This has real potential. Let me know if you take more shots, as your work has real guts and grit to it.

 

Please stop by and take a look at my latest effort.

 

Thanks,
