Thanks for sharing all of the details for the work you did on the image. As Connie mentioned, we ended up with two very different photos, but I love getting other people's perspectives! |

I really enjoy what you did here Cecilia. Now she's a lady with a fancy hat blowing in the wind, LOL.
Love it! |

Thank you Connie! I can understand the desire to see more detail, as those ruffles are pretty enticing. Next time I should consider shooting the same subject at different degrees of focus, but this was stuck in my head as is. |

The story you told about the house made me long to go there! I like your original concept for adding the texture, and like this composition. I also agree with Witta about the opportunities for improvement, and think her edits add more dimension to the photo.
I understand being torn between snapping a subject that caught your eye, yet having the urgency to move on to see more things! That happens to me a lot. :) |

Beautiful colors in this flower, and nice composition. I really like the edits to the background and feel it enhances this photo well.
Like others, I find the one brown petal distracting, but to your point, are we attempting to capture only beauty and perfection, or allowing the reality of imperfection to have it's place as well. It's all in our point of view at the time of the capture. |

I think I like the tone of the middle one the best. She does have an interesting expression, and I like how her hair is windblown and messy. In fact, I like the hair over her face in the original.
What story do you feel this was telling? I'm torn between wanting her to be looking down at the book VS looking like she has been interrupted and something, unseen by us, has caught her attention. Or, if because her expression is so intense, to crop in more on her face, and leave everything else out. So I'm curious to hear more from you on this.
Here's a crop that could be interesting. I used your original photo and just added a quick filter in my Windows image viewer/editor to take out some color and just focus on the crop. Again, I think leaving the hair in her face actually adds more interest in my opinion.

I like this image very much! The lighting and texture on the bottle and within the seed head are just wonderful. I feel converting to monochrome was a great choice.
I'll be very interested in watching the tutorial you've mentioned as well as the links Georgianne added.

What a great capture Cecilia! Talk about being in the right place, at the right time, and with the right skills to get this image.
I agree with Georgianne that I like the tones of the original image better than the edited version. I do like the exposure adjustments on her face and hand.
When someone is looking into the distance, I have a tendency to want to give some room to that area (to the left side), so I'm a little torn about cropping in there. Does it lend more to the story to have more room to gaze into, or does focusing on her expression work better? I think it's a toss-up for me.
Excellent image! |

Mary, I think this image is beautiful. The way the light is falling on her face really brings out her pensive expression. For me, you have just the right amount of softness, which lends a nice, dreamy feel to this image.
I love the stroke of light that outlines her forehead, nose, and lips. I would not change anything about this, as I feel the soft details of her face are the only things that need to stand out here. The rest being in darkness, suits this image well in my opinion. And to me, even the darkness is "light", meaning it doesn't appear as a strong, harsh black on my monitor. I simply love this. |
