Hello everyone... I would love to have some honest constructive critique on this image. Thanks so much!
It's a lovely and inspiring portrait; the only real critique I have is that her face has a very minor blue color cast and the highlights on it are a bit hot.
I like it. The water, the red flowers, and the shadows are nice contrasts to each other and packs a punch. Her blue shirt doesn't clash with the water, which was a good choice (some people would have put her in red or white, which wouldn't work), and her eyes really pop. It's hard to tell on my tablet, but her face looks a bit overexposed on her left side, but that might be my wonky screen (when I get home I'll double check). Some people may not like the composition, with her left side right on the center line dividing the picture into two halves, but I think it works here. I take it back, I don't like it, I really love this image. Beautiful portrait.
Thanks you guys! I see what you're saying about the highlight side of her face. I will work on this image a bit more before we go ahead and print it. Much appreciated!
