Very fortunate decision to shoot such a mundane view of the world that made a great shot.

Even without a caption, you can tell that the girl is watching something... the flag makes hints at a parade, and that's what it is. I like the lighting (I'd like a little more contrast, though). It's a simple message, nicely captured.

Very nice white-gray-black distribution.

Very nice composition. The shadows on the field give it great texture.

Was the trunk digitally added? If so, it should match the white balance of the base photo. If not, it could still be corrected. It stands out so much that it detracts from the rest of the composition.

I like the feel of sterility of the photo. From the original, is it possible to straighten the horizon line (curb)? and perhaps lower it a little? It might show less of the empty space on the street and reveal more of the building on the right.

Beautiful composition with great use of shadows. I found the use of the model's skin tones rather than clothing very interesting. This one is my favorite in your portfolio, Fabricio.

As for the comment (above) on the arm hair (or is it peach fuzz?), it seems to imply that perhaps you should have taken care to hide the model's arm hair. Should a careful photographer ask a model (male or female) to shave, use makeup to hide blemishes, pluck their eyebrows, and so forth? When photographing an elderly model, should the photographer use lighting to decrease age spots and wrinkles... or to highlight them to focus on the model's age?

Maybe these are all just a bunch of philosophical questions... if so, let me just produce a more photo.net-acceptable comment: "Nice shot! The arm hair added exquisite texture to the model's arm."

Bonito trabalho, Fabrício!

I'm trying to get correctly the lighting in macro photos of plants and flowers. In bright light, there's burnout, especially on leaves. In indirect light, the photo tends to get dull.

I hope I got this photo right. It was shot under a clear blue sky in the shade in the late afternoon.

Any well thought out feedback on lighting or anything else is appreciated.

Incredible background blurr with perfect sharpness on the subject!

Good texture and skin tones, but what is that smudge in the background, just above her head?!?

The blurred frame doesn't add anything... actually, it detracts from an aesthetically pleasing photo.

Why not?... :)

Nice. Have you tried cropping so there's more focus on the leaves (upper part of the photo).

Great composition. I love the way the garments fold and blend/contrast with the background. The subject is very expressive.

First, an apology: I had asked for critique on this shot, but screwed up the download. So, here it goes again...

 

This is a shot of a bubble of broken glass in a window pane. It's actually a very small portion of the original capture.I'd appreciate your critique, especially if you're into macrophotography, which I'm getting more and more interested in.

 

Thanks!

Interesting... when I first looked at this photo I thought it was some cyberworld, the kind you see in computer games. Interesting shot!

At first glance, it looks like a sculpture. I'd definitely continue developing the style.

Very interesting lighting effect. I was wondering how it was developed/digitized...

Critique welcome. I'm a new photographer.
