To match or not to match?

[maximusmilly]

I'm just starting out with portraits and I know this is slightly out of focus but just wondering about the composition and whether you think there is too much red with the camera and the hair? Is it too much or do they compliment each other? Should I colour the camera to match the hair? Thanks

I like the camera...I would probably have had her take the purse off, and maybe hold the cam with one hand...? Keep at it!

I like this picture . Her red hair and camera bring out her green eyes. The only thing is that the red in her hair and the red in the camera are different shades of red, so there's a risk of them clashing, but that's easily fixed with PS. I'm no expert, that's just my opinion . Good job.

Thanks for this feedback, it's very useful when starting out..I agree with you both.

I think the camera color is fine. I like the composition, but I think it might be better if she weren't looking into the short end of the frame, like if she were looking out into the space on the right, or if you left more space on the left. Make sense? Maybe I am just weird, but I like the pic.
