Polita

Polita is a Spanish singer, now in London, and a lovely person. I hope

this portrait captures more than just her appearance.

 

Comments and crits are welcome.

I think the shot is very good, but I would like it to be a little more contrasting, rather than her blending into the background. But I don't know what you were going for here. Just my thoughts. Very good picture though!

I vote for the tonal similarity. I like how she softly stands out from the background. Something is bothering me slightly about her head placement; it seems a bit too far right. And yet, her shoulders are perfect, so it's definitely not a matter of cropping it differently.

 

I do like the expression you've captured.

 

Back to the head position; I wonder if things would be improved if you got rid of the stray braids to the left. It seems counterintuitive, and unfortunately, I don't have a copy of Photoshop handy (I'm working on a new computer), but for some reason I'm thinking that might make the head placement work better for me. Or I could be all wet.
