Congratulations to the winners!
Execution is great... think the connection is missing for me in the pose, so rated a 2. Perhaps even if eyes were toward camera even with face to side would increase this.
Should be a 3 star according to your comment. Fstoppers rating system: "The photographer has a solid understanding of the basics: composition, color, focus, subject matter, and postproduction. A 3 star image is "good" but it's not great. Most part-time professional photographers have mostly 3 star images in their portfolios. Usually a level 3 image would have been rated 4 stars if it had been shot in a better location, or with a better model showing a better expressions, or there was better postproduction. A photographer capable of taking a 3 star image is capable of taking 4 and 5 star images if they would simply pay more attention to the details. "
Good point and overview for me Eddie, adjusted accordingly. 3 star update.
This is a "solid" shot. The hair and make up is good, the photography and edit is also good. It can go into excellent if the location was better and the subject was emotionally attached.
Yeah but most people don't think that evidently lol.
If you're happy and the client is happy it doesn't really matter what we as the community think. I agree with Eddie if the person was emotionally attached it would elevate (I'm cool with the location). I mean we care about silly things like catch lights and stuff most clients will never notice. Nice work regardless of what I or others say. Cheers Jeff.
