Self Portrait w/ NYC Skyline
Just wanted to get some feedback on this - I already know that profile isn't the best angle :(
Thanks!

It looked like a pursuit, but in reality, it was a peaceful movement.

Needs Work!
I see these comments on many photos - BTW - those who are putting comments like "Needs Work" should elaborate to say what is needed according to them.

Mia is a natural in front of the camera. She knows where the light is and plays to it in a soft, knowing way.

Some requested feedback. The angle isn't bad and is frequently used to imply a sense of power. The top of the building directly behind you is too close to the top of your head. I would have moved you closer to the camera to provide separation between your head and the top of the building. What I would have suggested is to tighten the image in the horizontal direction. Perhaps moved you to the left so your head was between the World Trade Center building and the other building and would have dropped some of the negative space on the right hand side of the image. Of course I don't know what you had to work with as far as camera position and where you could stand. Looks like you may have decreased the shadow on your face. If so a fill light or reflector could have been used. Could be wrong about the shadows, but there seems to be a harshness to the shadow side of your face.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Douglas - I really appreciate it! All great feedback.
