Guest Guest Posted May 9, 2010 Massimiliano,Vika is a beautiful girl. You have focused well on her eyes. She has very good eye contact with the camera (viewer). Her expression seems a bit mysterious and, therefore, works well with the sheer material partially obscuring her face. The lighting is good -- nicely directional. Judicious use of shadows can help create interest and the illusion of depth within your photograph. The highlights on her hair look very nice. She has very good catch lights. Her make-up is excellent. The mascara and eyeliner frames her eyes well and makes them stand out beautifully. Her mascara is expertly applied. I'm not sure I have ever seen better eyelash separation -- well done. Her skin tone is very good. The background is nicely neutral and Vika is well separated from it.You do not want the bridge of her nose to cut into her left eye. Her left eyebrow appears to be going into her eye. This looks a little strange. You need to change the position of her head to correct this.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 the body -- larger than normal -- foreshortened. Avoid having the back of the hand towards the camera. The edge (side) of the hand towards the camera is thinning, feminine and graceful. Watch your depth of field. Her hand, left eye and hair on her left side is out of focus. I don't see a good reason to have any of her out of focus. An out of focus background is very nice and focuses attention on your subject. Parts of your subject out of focus will draw attention away from what is in focus. It is difficult to go wrong with having the entire subject in focus.Your subject should have more room in front of her than behind. This allows her to be facing into the picture, not out of it. You want to compositionally balance the left and right sides of the photograph. The compositional "rule" for this suggests that you position the tip of the subject's nose in the vertical center of the photograph. You could crop a little off the left side, but I think it would have been better to include more on the right side. Your top and bottom compositional balance is very good.The advertising you have on the lower right is not part of the photograph. It would be quite proper to place your name on the mat. Advertising would be better placed on the back of your photograph.Nice shot,Mark Link to comment
