Me... Just me

...

I like its crop and strong contrast
Best regards

Beautiful work, Bob!

A very sensual portrait with an original crop. The background looks a bit weird though.

I do not like the cut you made on top of the photo. Is very sharp and should be smoother because all attention is the photo at the top of the frame, as she is doing with his hands raised some action that you cut. I guess it did not work

She is lovely, I like the tones and composition.

She is full of character - a very strong portrait. Wonderful light on her cheek. But I too miss the top. Best regards.

Perfect crop and textures, Bod. Congratulations

Estupendo retrato. Magnifica composicion y encuadre, con una excelente pose y expresion captada, asi como una excelente luz y colores.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

 Has a real raw look that fit's the model and composition well. Another great shot. 

Beautiful photo.  I like her eyes and the shape of her lips that show a very strong character " Me... just me". Good composition, the lighting is perfect. Congratulation Bob! Best regard.

 

nice shot Bob!  I like the slightly 'grunge' effect....suits her expression....nicely done!

Thanks for your visit :)

Beautiful capture and excellent crop! Cheers, Bob!

Beautiful

I like the contrast in the shoot, her pose and expression works well too.

Best regards Tore

Bob,

You have her turned at a nice angle to the camera which helps make her look thin, feminine and graceful. I can't really tell if she has good eye contact with the camera (viewer) because it is hard to see her eyes.

Make sure you focus on her eyes. They are not as sharp as they should be. her eyes should be in critical focus.

You have deep shadows in her eyes. In a portrait it is usually important to see the eyes. The whites should look white and you should have good catch lights to help give them life.

I am not sure what her expression is communicating to the viewer, but it doesn't look very pleasant.

Your contrast is too high. You have lost detail in the whites and blacks. Her skin tone looks dark and mottled (except for her red left elbow). 

The background is nicely out of focus, but the light area in the lower right corner is distracting. The "horizontal" lines running through it doesn't help either. Although out of focus the area on the left is still quite busy looking. You don't want anything to draw the viewer's attention away from your subject.

Your left and right compositional balance is quite good, but your top and bottom compositional balance is very top heavy. You do not want to crop into her head and arms.

Be careful of foreshortening. Watch for anything closer to the camera than the body. If nearer the camera than her body her feet, knees, hands, elbows and shoulders will look out of proportion to the rest of her body -- foreshortened. I would not have her left elbow pointing towards the camera.

It doesn't look very ladylike to have her sweaty armpit showing. I would also have her do up the zipper on her pants.

Nice shot,

Mark

 

 

Very unusuall and interesting crop, cool presentation of the picture.

Very good contrast, great shot.

Yes, true the crop at the top is a bit asphyxiating, but all said and done, this pic has a raw appeal, few photos can match pixel for pixel. brilliant piece of street photography.

gut crop and presentation, nice pose and expression. Well done..!

I normally don't post on portraits because I don't find the right words to describe why I like them or don't. But reading the other critiques, I feel the need to give my two cents. The crop is good, can't explain why but when I picture it with the top of her head and hands it has a different mood, less spur of the moment I suppose. As far as her pose not being feminine, I disagree. I do think a bit of fill flash would have helped, just enough that you wouldn't know if you weren't there. Keep up the good work..
