Reply To: How am I doing?

My initial reaction is that I like it. It’s quite a striking photo.
There are some observations to think about though:
— The hair band makes her look “last year of high school”
— In the larger Flickr image, her face seems pretty bright, possibly blown out?
— Once I get past her face I’m drawn to her hands. They look big! 50 mm is probably better left to full body when you can’t back up. Her left hand is a bit bright and her grip reminds me of Golem from Lord of the Rings.
— At different sizes, the nose piercing looks like a blemish
— A difference between strobes and continuous lights is the pupil diameter.
