Pika

This is Pika, a very talented young model I photographed this week. This one is one of my favorite shots from the day.

I like the expression and pp. I think it may work better in portrait orientation or at least with a little more space above her head. Ymmv

There is always something a bit special about your work that makes it stand above a lot of other shots.

Great shot Dan! I love her expression!

I actually like the orientation but wish it was completely centered, haha. I love the hair and expression on her face, though.

 

[BrickHouse]

Dan, nicely done. Incredible work.

I like the shot, but not the composition.

I like it. I like the comp. To me it feels natural to have more space on the right since the wind is sweeping her hair that way. I don't think I would like it as much centered.

i like it. she looks like she needs more sleep though the eyes on the bottom are a little puffy. The hair is probably a little too out of focus for me. looking at her face, to her hair, to the background. i think if the hair was a little more focused (not clear or sharp just focused) it would stand out better from the background and give a better transition for the eye .
Really just being critical here though, wonderful shot.

I agree about the space, but otherwise, it's a lovely shot as usual.

Having absolutely nothing to do with the photo, her eyes are totally freaking me out. They remind me of the black eyes that flip up on demons on Supernatural​.

that shadow under her chin and that unpleasantly dusky part on her neck really hurt this image, imo.

 

[bribrius]

good eye lew. This is where you shine..

Thanks for the feedback. :]

I feel like perhaps that would melt her chin into her neck if there was no shadow to separate the two, don't you think?

Also, just as a reminder, I ask that my photos not be edited without my permission. Please respect this from now on.

I don't know what it would look like without the shadow but I don't think it would be worse.

And I didn't consider that anyone would consider placing an arrow to point to a feature, editing.
