-Looks abit too over saturated
-Clean up the sheets, you're not supposed to see the wrinkles
-Bad lighting angles = Harsh shadows
-What shes wearing just doesnt go along with the theme

but good try

With portraits, I want to see a person's face, at least part of it and I think it should have a sharp focus on it. This seems like photo where you are telling a story, good thought just maybe need to tweak the angles and composition a little.

I like the perspective and idea, but it also looks a bit out of focus to me.

I am using a Nikon Cool Pix L3. I don't know how to get all the EXIF information from the camera. I used it on the portrait mod, with flash. The only thing I did to the picture was the automatic color adjustment.

I dont know where to find it on Photobucket but the information is actually embedded with your image. In your processing software you should be able to click on somehwere and find image information.
It should look a little something like this:
Camera: Olympus E-520
Exposure: 0.006 sec (1/160)
Aperture: f/5.0
Focal Length: 58 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Auto, Did not fire

Don't know where photobucket puts EXIF data or if it even keeps it. So, just right click on the image on your computer, go down to properties. Then click the details tab, should be the furthest to the right, and scroll down. Read the rules of the forum and post the appropriate data (F/stop, shutter speed, etc etc)
