Critiques


:iconn-y-o:
First impression: Ok, when I saw it in thumb version, I already knew, it was Jaicca's fine eye and hands behind this, before I even noticed the author. Your work is surely noticable here at DA, so keep up good work. After opening this photograph to it's full version (all of You, watchers should do it, every time) I was a bit disappointed by the size.
I wouldn't mind it being 800 on the longer side, but that's only a small wish.
My first impression was something like this 'Wow, Jaicca made another great photo!' and only after that I noticed some minor drawbacks.

Second look: So there are good and bad points in this one. First of all, You did capture great portrait of Your beautifull model, name of photo stands in good corelation to the look in her eyes, wandering somwhere in the skies, daydreaming. Umbrella and grass leaflet catched my eyes only moment after seeing her face, adding more to the concept of elusiveness. On the other side, there is some distracting falloff added in postprocessing to cover not-so-nice bokeh in the background. It's surely too heavy, getting my eyes off the main character in the photo, so instead of hiding the background, it pops-up it up. I suggest repositioning, shooting another angle or using lens with wider aperture, giving softer bokeh (if it is available to You).

Technicals: Mostly covered above. There is something that looks like chromatic fringe on loose wisps of hair on the right, but it might be effect of heavily used falloff. Facial postprocessing is top notch, one that i'm used to see on Your photos. This piece could be easly used commercialy.

Overall: As I said before, Your photos are easly noticed and still it's not a mass production of 'clones'. You put a lot of work in each photo, so they are original each time. A great mix of technical prowess and fine art.
