This is a classic example of selective coloring done poorly (bad choice IMO).

Is the subject of the photo the girl, or the flower & tutu? By removing the color from everything but those two things, you're basically telling the viewer that they are more important than anything else in the photo. If you want the photo to be about your princess, then I would suggest leaving her in color, if you are going to selectively remove color etc.

Also, the photo is shot in a horizontal / landscape orientation, but she (like most people) are taller than they are wide...so the format doesn't match the subject. On top of that, she won't even fit in the frame. Both her head and her tutu are cut off. Don't you think that if she (in her outfit) is the subject, it would be better to include more of her and less of the fence? I do.

I do like the effect of the shallow DOF on the fence, but it takes up too much of the photo and I don't think we need to see that much of it, on the close side of her. You have her pretty much in the middle of the image, which is usually not a great composition. By moving the camera (or her) so that she was more to the right side, would still give us the cool effect on the fence, but would likely be a more pleasing composition.

I'd also suggest getting a bit lower, so that the background was more fence and less ground.

why would you cut off her head like that? Why the selective coloring? Why did you blur the picture in post instead of relying on the dof from the camera? Why landscape orientation?

I think you need to set up your shots better. This looks like a snapshot with bad effects afterward. Again, I am not trying to be mean just helpful. Have you looked online for portrait samples from professional photographers? This might help spark some motivation.

I didn't say that. I could have just said "What a beautiful girl"....but what would you (or anyone) learn from that?

Here's one problem. If this shot was framed like this when you took the picture, then you need to work on framing. Allow yourself room when taking a pic because 99% of your photos will be cropped in post. At least mine are.

Oh no, my friend, the most important thing in the picture, your princess, is very beautiful. So repeat, and repeat, and repeat, shoot her a thousand times The quality will appear, step by step.

[LuckySe7en]

May I critique?

I love the colors but...it would have been better to shoo this from the right side of the flags so that the poles don't get in the way of each flag. Right now the subject are the poles, not the flags. Try to cut back on the vignetting, it doesn't look good if it isn't done correctly.

 

[dphotography]

i have the same on that i edit in bw ..but i wanted to keep the colors of the flag ..i am gonna re edit allot of pics just to compare ..maybe ill post them ...lol
