Assuming you backed off the saturation in photoshop (or something of the such)? I'm not sure I like the greyness of her skin, though the sky is nice. Am I the only person seeing horizontal lines in the background?

haha actually i think the 'sky' you were referring to is our track. And those lines...I see them too, I think its the fence.

razad,

Hate? Love? How about Appreciate? Lovely subject, and pleasing composition. The color could be adjusted to more natural and flattering tones, and shadow detail enhanced some. Otherwise, well done.

me = confused. how is she standing that the track is behind her head?

Good shot overall!!! The background distracts me a little. There are two protrusions next to her eye...I feel like BATMAN is approaching her from behind

Maybe someone tipped her over....lol! I think comp is good and the choping off of her head at the top is fine with this shot which is just a face shot and expression.I don't see how thats a fence either....

Nicely framed and sharp! Beautiful subject...this is a great photo. I agree that the colors could use some work. But it's a great photo. The horizontal lines are a bit distracting once you notice them, but it doesn't take away from a great photo. Nice work!

Okay Razad I just got it....she's way up in the stands and you are shooting at a sownwrd angle to the track and fence.....makes sense now. I would try blurring or something to get rid of the lines of the track and fence rail. great shot though...

[razad]

Thanks for all your comments. So the response I'm getting is that the colors aren't dead on, and certainly don't add to the photo. So...here's the black and white.
