Guest Guest Posted August 17, 2009 Aleksandar, She is a beautiful girl. I love her complexion and her eyes. You have focused very well on her eyes. She has very good catch lights. The skin tone is very good. Your background is well out of focus which allows the subject to be nicely isolated in the photograph. She is very well separated from the background. I am afraid your portrait is a bit bottom heavy and left heavy. To balance the left and right sides of your portrait the compositional "rule" suggests that you position the tip of the nose in the vertical center of the photograph. You will want to move her position over to her left. You have cropped into her head. This implies that you are going to have a tight crop on the bottom, which you do not have. With so much material showing below her chin you will want to give her quite a bit of head room to balance the top and bottom the your photograph. You need space above her head. You really need to either crop the bottom or provide head room. She is draped in beautiful material, but you want to avoid bright colors and bold patterns in clothing. In a portrait the subject’s face is what is most important and nothing should draw the viewer’s attention away from the face. The pattern is very busy and my eyes keep going to the material. I would like for her to have just a bit heavier use of mascara and eyeliner under her eyes. This would allow her eyes to come forth more. She could also use a little lipstick or lipgloss and blush. Just a little would bring out even more of her femininity. You have very nice soft lighting on her face. Perhaps with a judicious use of shadows you could create a better feeling of depth within the photograph. Nice shot, Mark Link to comment
