A Newbies First C&C

[BlueVelvetCake]

I know it's just the internet, but holy heck am I nervous.
I just started recently getting into photography and have been going out to take shots, I ended up downtown and while waiting for the bus with a friend I snapped this. Any C&C is very welcomed.

1.

2. Same but in black and white.

You focus is soft but I really like the "mood" of this image in black and white. It has a sort of mysterious feel. Sometimes if you post your settings you used it is easier for us to give feedback on what you can do next time to improve. Keep posting your images!

Not portrait quality. The model's face is in shade. The background is distracting. Overall, not good.

Ah! I see what you mean. I was holding the camera so, that would explain the camera shake.

Got it. And thank you for the comment about the mood!
