Default Doesn't seem too interested...



Hello everyone. This is my first post. I am a little nervous. Welcoming any feedback on this one. The goal was to show that this young lady was not at all interested in the ongoing college baseball game.

I like it. You've offset the subject. The depth of field provides some context without distracting you from the girl. You've even managed to catch a little light in her eyes, which is good considering she's shaded by the man holding her.

Personally, I like a bit more contrast/black level in my images, but that's processing to taste.

The biggest issue for me is that the guy right behind the girl isn't far enough away (or hidden) enough to keep it from looking like the girl has an extra arm coming out her back. Other than that I find the colors a bit washed out, but that may be accurate given a full sunny day.

I agree with Gobae, the guy behind the girl creates the illusion that she has an extra arm. If this guy wasn't there, it would be a really great shot.

As far as colors, I like it the way it is. They give it a very "real" feel.
