This is a great shot with good exposure. the idea is fairly original and unique. the image is sharp and has great depth of field. However there is some technical difficulties in this image that prevents me from giving it a 5 star. The first thing that I would like to point out is the Key light. There are some visible harsh shadows on the subject's neck and shoulder and some slight overexposure in the left side of the subject (specially in the chick, forehead and upper chest area). This is the result of the Key light being to powerful or being to close to the subject. It needs to be diffused with a soft box and get further from the subject. The next point is the flash. the result would have been much greater if the flash was bounce through the ceiling except of straight. this has been cause some unwanted reflection on forehead of the subject (painted area). And the last point is the white balance. There is a slight yellow/green tint to whole image. this is because the white balance settings has not been done correctly. this problem can easily be solved by using a Gray reference card to remove the unwated tint from the photo.
Overall this is a great image with great composition and original idea. However the image is lacking some small technical problem. I hope this critique has been helpful
Now, this is my favorite out of the two like this. It absolutely captures the emotion and sense of meaning behind the face paint. She's very strong and fearless, and the make-up which we use to hide or improve ourselves is defiantly smeared across her face. Of course, there is more than one story to this photo, but this is one of the more immediate ones that comes to mind.
Yeah mine to, until now. There will follow more of that shooting the next days (: And you're right with the story, that's definitely one of the things the picture shows! Thanks for the comment
