I normally don't write critiques for pieces with a watermark but I'll do an exception for you my friend.

The good:

I like the model's pose and expression... looks kinda gloomy and fits the surroundings. I like the blurring and vignetting done either in post-process or in camera.

Things that could be improved:

Subject is hard to define... Is it the tree or the girl? The framing is a bit too large and the tree draws a lot of attention in this picture. I think a tighter framing would have serve this pic better. Also, your main subject, the girl is almost dead center. That is, as you know, a no go in most picture. Granted you have some blurred things in front to create some sort of "frame" around her, but still.... Not sure it was the best choice. I would have place her on the left side since she is looking to the right, thus giving the picture a sense of direction.

I understand you wanted to include the magnificent tree behind her, but right now, the tree is competing with her as the main focus.

Overall, a good picture.

Kindest regards,

Instant-Ocean

Thank you a lot! You write my first critique
You are in right. I think almost same. I would like if I could set girl a left and tree right, but i can't than do this framing through the rocks.
Thank you

You are welcome my friend.

I understand now that you had constraints by a whole in a rock wall through which you shot that picture. So I see your point... kinda makes it difficult to do otherwise.

Be well!

I like this pic but I do agree with Instant-Ocean that the frame is too big, my eyes couldn't stay looking at her because of the tree. I think it'll be better if you make her body on the left side of the frame and have a lot of space to the right so viewers and have a sense of direction and I think you can all together get rid of the tree since its about her

I'll second :*Instant Ocean: on the dA mark, it's very distracting. Good picture, lovely model. Thanks for sharing your talent!

Oh man... What's with the unsightly dA watermark?!? That is SO horrible. Picture is good, but please, get rid of that watermark, mate!
