Candid shot of Tori - C&C Please

[trevburley]

Caught this moment whilst out on a walk with my family in the woods. Had seconds to get the shot so it's very overexposed in certain areas but I feel it adds to it. C&C is welcome!

Canon 750D + 18-55 Kit Lens @ 47mm
ƒ/5.6, 1/320, ISO 400

The only overexposed portion that bothers me is the eye.

Can probably fix that with a little photoshopping - thanks!

The pure white eye and the green skin would have me tossing this shot.

Dappled lighting effects can be very difficult to process perfectly. I think this could perhaps be made better with some very minor color and light-level corrections. But overall, a nice moment of a lovely lady. The green color cast is to be expected, photographically, since the leaves should filter the light to a greenish hue, but perceptually, ,may people would want to color-correct away that greenish hue. I'm 50/50 on that: at times a stronger color cast from an in-scene object acts a dose of realism that I,personally, enjoy seeing.

Thanks for the feedback guys - I left the green in on purpose as I felt it added some context to the image, perhaps it's more of a taste thing

Nail hit on the head. Do you love the photo? then love it.

For me - up-nose photos are generally unflattering to me. And the lower-left it's probably her army holding some branches away - but the area distracts me a bit. And the blown-out (possibly?) leaf to her left - again it's a distraction for me.

What I love is this:

It's a candid. It's you capturing a neat moment under neat -if-unusual lighting. I like the OOF leaves on the right side - that puts her into the leaves - not just beside them.

I'm glad you're on the forum Trev.
