Hi All,

I've just found this forum today, and it's great ... looks like a good place to get some feedback I can really learn from!

If you don't mind, take a look at this and let me have some criticism/feedback

Exposure: 0.02 sec (1/50)
Aperture: f/1.8
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire

Thanks!

In this case, I feel she is too low in the frame, maybe cropping down so her eyes are on the top third line would make for a better photograph. I am not a fan of the hair covering the eyes. Keep snapping....

I like the bw, good contrast...but yeah the pose is a little blah. Put people on an angle instead of straight on. Unfortunately I am also a big proponent of the 'get your hair out of your eyes' movement.

I like how the light is centered around your subject - whether that was how it was exposed or if it's a vignette - but the pose itself doesn't do much. Looks almost like you said "pose!" and she stood up against the wall. Great contrast and tone mapping, but work a bit on your composition.

Thanks, guys! That's exactly the sort of feedback I need. Much appreciated.

I would go for a different crop for that photo..

What do you think. I know the lighting effect has gone, which was lovely, but i feel this crop works better for the pose.

I have also lightened her a little
