One light, 16 year old model with beautiful skin and a great smile.
I made it B/W because I'm partially colorblind, and I had a feeling the original was
too reddish. I think..lol.
I would have preferred a solid blouse, but it's what she wanted.

looks good, but the crop seems a bit odd to me, maybe a tighter crop on the sides? her shoulders look too wide for some reason.

The crop doesn't bother me at all. I like it a lot. Beautiful lighting ratio on the faace.

I agree. Nice lighting, great pose and I see nothing wrong with the crop. I say well done.

Great shot, lovely model, but I have to agree the crop could be tighter on the sides.

I think a tighter crop would be more flattering for her. Her shoulders look very wide the way it is.

Great photo and I'm going to have to side with the others who say crop it. The reason her shoulders look wide is because her arms were not down to her side and she probably had her hands on her hips. The top of her right forearm gives the illusion that it's part of her shoulder when it is not. Would like to see more from this shoot.


I just got my first pair of glasses that I didn't think I needed. I apologize to anybody in the past year that I said their pictures were out of focus lol.

Beautiful shot, but I agree a bit tighter crop would make it even nicer.

Just a suggestion, if you think the original is too red but you're not sure, maybe you should post it and get an opinion. Might help for later work. =)
I like the shot though the crop feels too wide, tighter cropping would help IMO. Otherwise lovely shot!

Google translator says: Very good, light is in place, the outline of the performance figures are in place.
