Strike a Pose: Easter Morning

Image taken on an old iphone so not the best quality. It's taken on the side of a Benehana restaurant right after brunch on Easter morning. What I like about it is the pose - we tried something new and it feels like it works - and I like the idea that we saw a background setting in a beat up parking lot.

But a coworker of mine was like "You need a new phone" and "There's too much going on in the image".

So does the shot work or is there simply too much clutter? Thanks!

I like it.

Apart from the girl being on a relatively clean background, things don't work for me. It's too wide, thus your coworker is right. Also legs are disappearing in the rocks, which in this case is a bad thing. That tree is not interesting enough to take up all this space. Also the pose is good, but not ok for these surroundings - looks like she's pointing or something, or just asking, can she have a wee there

Appreciate the time you took to comment. Sometimes, I've just got a blindness to my images. We'll do this again, but better!
