Jen - C&C Welcome!

Just a picture of her while out for lunch.

C&C on anything!
This is basically just a snap shot really, so probably hard to C&C on.
Rebel XSi 18-55mm lens w/ camera flash.

You took the words right out of my mouth. It's a snapshot and I don't what else to say on it

Looks a bit out of focus.

You can't really give hard CC on a snap shot because it's just a snap shot. Usually that implies that no major thought went into posing or lighting or composition or PP work. Know what I mean?

As far as suggestions - on camera flash is creating shadows under her face, lighting is flat, straight on and centered composition is boring and skin needs work. She's a cute girl - take her out, get her dressed up and really work with her!! Hope that helps.

Well, even though it is a snapshot, a small amount of thought went into focusing, position of the camera, ISO, flash, etc.

So you could probably C&C on the focusing, the angles, and so on and so forth.

@The other two;

Thanks for the C&C! I'll have to work on where I focus my shots

With the above in mind, its a very unflattering image that appears to have been shot from too close, with a cluttered background, out of focus eyes, and cropped to take off part of her head. There are no angles, and the head is dead centered in the picture, with no use of natural or ambient light.


I think Nicole did a nice job of pointing out that this girl probably has good potential, so use this as a learning experience, and get out with a plan and shoot with her some more.
