I'd really appreciate some written critiques for this image. If you

really like it let me know what works, and if you hate it (which is

fine) I'd really appreciate knowing what doesn't work with it. Giving

out a low rating with no explanation is basically pointless and rude

and does no good to the photographer. Sorry about that little rant,

but I've received quite a few of these "ratings" and I'd just like to

let people know my feelings in regards to this. And I always greatly

appreciate those who take the time to write a critique; they are of

great benefit in my growth as a photographer.

 

Thanks,

Firstly, I join you in the 'rant'. Get's very frustrating when the raters don't comment. For some reason I find this picture quite disturbing. She doesn't look happy to be there and it looks as if she has been 'ordered' to pose. I do like the quality, use of light and the brick background adds some depth to the shot.

a good frame well done with light and composition, but I don't find excellent the attitude of the model.

I'll agree with the rant also... I too like the lighting, exposure and the background. But, I don't care for the pose much. It looks too unnatural to me. As the photo was loading (I have a very slow connection) it looked as though she may be ironing or something.. getting ready to get dressed.. I thought maybe she was concentrating on what she was doing. I guess what I'm saying is that it would work better for me if she was doing something more natural. Pretty model, nice location, I hope you can get another chance at this.

I get an uncomfortable feeling, empathizing with her struggle to stay balanced.

Perhaps she is teetering over some sex-related issue. Shall she exploit it, and teeter over into the light and maybe down the abyss, or regain her balance and step inside to safety and more modest circumstances. I don't know, I like it although it is unsettling. Keep making images!

I like this pose, as poster above said, could be teetering, but I also get an additional impression of having "landed" there, like a lonely spirit. Technically the lighting is great, personally I would like to maybe see a little more of the ledge she is perched on vs. this crop, to emphasize that she's on the window ledge.
