Hey everyone,
I took this picture today for a church directory I am putting together. This is my first victim "eh hum" I mean parishoner. Anyway, please be brutally honest with your critiques.
I shot in RAW and tried to fix the eyeglass glare in photoshop. Does it look sloppy? Do you think I could get away with printing an 8x10 to give away to the victim. Why do I keep saying that, I mean parishoner?

Thanks!
Chris

The PP looks good can't notice anythings been changed. Not sure if its me but they seem a tad overexposed.

Thanks, so are you saying that I should darken everything just a tad or a couple of tads?

Not sure could just be my tired eyes or jpeg conversion. The one on the right just seems like the highlights in it are just barely blown out.

Shots are good but I would have chosen a different BG.
Seem like she is lost in it.
try maybe something more plain and lighter

The problems I see: #1 The outfit is out of key with the background ... a cool outfit on a warm background. #2 The outfit is too busy and takes the eyes of the viewer away from her face. #3 The necklace is ontrusive ... too much. #4 The lighting is flat ... no direction to the light. #5 The overall images are not deep enough and lack saturation.
