Beautiful lighting and great contrast! maybe a little overexposed?! A little crop on the left side could aid this great shot :D.

I agree - crop on the left to create symmetry with the right. The asymmetric element will then be the model. Nice backlighting.

I think like Dmitri Zakovorotny: there are many things behind the girl. Anyway, great photo. I love the light. Congratulations.

Great shot. Do you have access to using the girl and the door again? I would like to see the same pose from a different angle. Maybe this would bring in a little more sky.I would also like to see the pose shooting down. Maybe using a set of steps. This would bring in a little more building.Had you considered cloning out the cables ?

 

Never the less, a great shot.

If this were my shot I would use photoshop to remove some items from the background, like the line above her head and the object just to her right. They pull attention away from her face. The overall technical is good, but the pose is forced and can be improved by relaxing the pose and have the left foot slightly turned to the left to follow the leg line down. This in turn forms a leading line for the eyes to follow up to her face. With the foot turned towards the camera it drives the eye downward to the foot. Another problem is the bottom of her dress is the lightest area in the image and draws the eye to it. Eyes are attracted to light (and sharp) areas of the image. This area has both elements and draws attention away from her face which is the focal point of the image. Touch it up with photoshop and this problem will be a thing of the past.

I would clone out the dark folds of fabric near her crotch. I wouldn't touch the ackground though, it provides a great contrast to her. I'd say a good title would be Olympic Gold.

Very original picture Alexander, perfect model for this scene and a super location.

You did a very, very good yob here.

Hold this level in future please!

I can only rate with 7+7 for this.

Greetings, Wim.

Composition, pose, lighting and colour are all excellent. If it were my shot I would be asking why I didn't open up a couple of stops to throw the background out of focus a little. Having said that the composition of this shot is so strong it takes quite a while for ones attention to be directed to the background. I'd be very proud to have the picture in my portfolio.
