Aleksandra in Park

Hello critique, comments & ratings welcome. Thanks.

Great is the kid, great is her outfit and the lighting! Background well out of focus, wonderful mild colors, most suitable for a portrait of a cute child!

 

Best regards Michael!

tenera,elegante e raffinata,però a mio vedere avrei rubato lo spazio alto(che non serve)e messo nella parte bassa,cosi le mani comunicavano bene.

Big eyes and a relaxed expression. Many distractions with hot spots in the background, on her hat and arm. Her skin color mainly on her face, neck and left arm has a green color-cast. As a snapshot this is fine but it is lacking otherwise.

I have to disagree with John. Naturally you could complain about the hot spots, but the face comes across so well, so unpretentious and so obviously natural that what you have here is a great portrait. Taken outdoors without all the falsity that so often comes with a studio setting. I personally do not think that you can do any better than this. So often photographers seem to confuse technical perfection with the power of photography - an art that, at its best, shows people the way they are and not some preconceived notion of what they should look like. Well done!!!
