I would appreciate any critique.

Looks as though the bars are in focus instead of her. The light is also really dark on her face.

For me, the Straight blue bar is too intrusive. My eye goes to it and can't get past it.

This has some potential. Easy to see what you were going for, but the composition and framing isn't quite right. A 45 or so degree angle to the right would have made the bars less of the "subject" framed the real subject better. Judging the available light, this would have also called for a slighter higher exposure to get her face lit properly, and would have also given you some nice rimlight, though it may be blown. Do you have a reflector? That would help a lot! You can get a 5-in-1 for about $15 on Amazon. There's also the good ol' white t-shirt as a reflector trick

Thank you, and I see your point.

Thanks. Actually the bar was not straight, but ran at an angle. I straightened it with a photo editor. Wrong thing to do I guess.

Thank you for some great suggestions.
