Sharing a shot from last month

I have given feedback on 2 or 3 photos posted on TPF and figured it only fair to post one of mine.&nbsp;<br>It's from a shoot I did last month, and even though the sky is blown out, I personally like it.&nbsp;<br><br>Would appreciate some feedback.&nbsp;<br><br>

Just a thought

I had originally cropped it but something didn't feel quite right, so I kept it as it was SOOC.

I also rarely shoot my subject in the center of my image, I like more movement in my shots, but that's just personal taste.

Yes, I understand what you mean but the bright white area on top keeps catching my eyes and wonder to the left a lot. Just trying to keep the main subject in view. I don't like to center my subjects also.

This shot is really busy. Its hard for my brain to decide what to focus on: the girl or the surroundings. The two are fighting against each other here. You have stairs going up but your camera angle is point down. Also she is looking down and sort of hunching over a bit. I think if the shot would have been from a lower perspective and angled up flowing with the stairs it might have been more effective.

Also her posture and all the black make her look kind of chunky here. Obviously she is not from seeing her face but these elements give you that impression.

I like it.. but the angle of her head just looks odd!
