nathan_stiles 0 Posted June 16, 2008 B/c of my time being brief, I'm only going to enumerate the errors. I wish you the best on your journey to improve. The expression is dull. It's neither happy, nor thought provoking. The ear rings are a distraction w/ the short DOF used to highlight her face (nicely), and should have been removed. The blouse color is a poor pattern/color choice to go w/ the background. The pose could use some basic portrait tweaks. The perspective is too high, and has you looking down on her. And try to avoid your reflection in her eyes-- the portrait is about her, not the photographer. Link to comment
bbrooks 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks for the comments. I was not really going for the "textbook" portrait. In the strictest technical sense you are correct that it does not conform to all of the rules for a PPA image. Someone else described her look as natural and she is who she is and this is one of her many expressions. I do agree about the earrings but I do not subscribe to retouching photos, digital or not.
