quick edit of a senior photo - what would you change?

[lisa_13]

she plays the piano, obviously. what would you change (or keep) about this?

 

[Robin Usagani]

was there a light pointing at your camera? Your top left has white noise. I would burn around the model.

Try desaturating it and giving it a "classic" feel.........

was there a light pointing at your camera?

That's what I would change. Get rid of that, and I think it would be pretty good.

looks like light leaked in the top left....

You light needs a black "flag" or a barn door set to keep its spill light from polluting the area to the left hand side of the frame.

This picture could sure use some shadows

I'd desaturate, like others said.

You've got to figure out a way to get her face back to a flesh tone rather than WHITE--it is overexposed to my eye.

Another thing I'd play with is going in a black and white direction and boost the contrast.

Simply my two shiny copper coins.

More flesh tones, much more, and re-compose so there is more frame in front of the girl.
