Her dress is way over-exposed and is lacking in detail. She is also too centered on the screen. Other than that, the expression is wonderful!

I think that if you moved in closer to the subject, it would have been easier to achieve the proper metering and the whole image would have been better. Right now, the background seems to play a more important role to your picture than the subject.

Also, if you used partial metering on her skin (usually the center of her face), both her skin and the dress would be better exposed.

This is meant to be constructive criticsm. Hope it helps for the next time you make a capture. #949645

Susan,

Thanks for you opinion...

Actually the effect was achieved on purpose :) Its one of my signature looks, "Urban". Some people dont like it, but it sets me apart and seems to be a very popular request with my customers, I do appreciate the critique, as I am always trying to remain teachable!


Thanks! #6111828
