I’m going to point out a couple things with the intention of being providing constructive criticism. Not hating, at all. You may be intentionally breaking some photography ”rules”, but if that’s the case it’s not coming across as intentional because it’s not adding something interesting to your subject. For instants, obviously the sky is completely blown out, but your subject also seems slightly under exposed. Also, there is nothing interesting going on behind her that justifies cutting off her elbow. Also because there’s nothing interesting pathfinder it is weird that she is facing out of frame. I like the thought of adding this hue to the blown out sky to almost turn it into a high key portrait, but I think you should really crop in on your subject and eliminate as much empty spaces possible . Maybe I’m way off, but these were my thoughts when viewing this image. Hopefully that is helpful .
