Untitled

Beautiful portrait work and of very pretty and charming model, the lighting here is superb and so the fine details obtained out of the face while the skin tone is so original, the blurred back ground has well isolated the model also, the model eyes are so well connecting with the viewers and enhancing the composition of this work.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Aleksander, very strong portrait, i love the tones. the overall colour is great well done

Aleksandar,

She is a beautiful girl. You have focused well on her eyes. I really like her make-up. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer) and a lovely smile. The lighting is very good. The background is nicely out of focus and she is well separated from it.

You have used a horizontal format for a vertical subject. There is really nothing in the background of the photograph that tells anything about your subject or adds to the composition that would warrant shooting it horizontally. It is common to use a vertical format for a vertical subject.

The composition is very left heavy. 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. By positioning the tip of her nose in the vertical center of the photograph you not only have her facing into the picture, but you also have good left and right compositional balance. The tip of her nose doesn't have to be exactly centered, but this gives you a good starting point from which to subtly adjust your composition to make it visually balanced. This little rule almost always works well.

You have cropped quite far into her head. You would have to crop quite a lot off the bottom to compositionally balance the top and bottom of your photograph. It would be better to give her some headroom.

The color has a distinct green tint to it.

Her catchlights look a tad spooky to me. The long, slightly separated, bar of light just doesn't look natural to me. A round catchlight would look more natural.

You have burned-in the edges of your photograph. Darkening the edges helps to keep the viewer's eyes within the photograph which is a very good thing to do. You do not want to make it obvious that you have darkened the edges of a portrait. You want to have a very subtle gradation of tone going to the edges. The process shouldn't draw attention to itself.

Nice shot,

Mark

Breaking the "rules" is what photography is all about. Mark makes some valid points but if everyone composed portraits in the way he  suggests, allbeit technically correct, how boring would that be!
