I only have one niggling little criticism. It looks like the farthest eye is sharper than then closer one. When shooting that close with a wide open lens you can sometimes get the DOF too shallow. If she were facing you with her eyes square it wouldnt be an issue, but that would be a different photo.

It was shot with f/2.8.
On the actual image the eyes are equally sharp :)
But thank you for the feedback.

btw: Those eyes are not Photoshopped.

The actual image as opposed to what? 2.8 still might not be enough.

I caught that as well, but the more I look at it, I think it might be the catch in her far eye closest to her ear, if you will, and the apparent 'darkness' in the white of her near eye.

Great colors.

At first I thought the eyes were Photoshopped to appear bluer, but looking at the image I just think your white balance is off. The reason for this is because the whites of her eyes have a blue tint to them and the scarf, which appears to be black and white, the white also has a bluish tint. Anyway it is a nice Fall image, :)

Very nice image. I like the colors and composition. On my monitor I also see a tinge of blue on the whites of her eyes. Pretty shot though!

White balance might be off.

To be honest, I tried to adjust it to her skin tone, so if the whites in her eyes would be more white, then her skin would be too yellow. :)

You could try just dropping the blue saturation some, although I think you could "fix" this with a WB adjustment without getting unnatural skin tones.


Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

Looks soft and not quite sure about the leaf in front of her face. Not too bad though.

White balance is off.
If you want to push the blue to accent her eyes, mask them.

Agreed. Adjust the white balance and you are golden.


Keep on working, It can only get better from here.
