Thumb-up Thumb-up    from saguaro/James (3,903) Send mail to this user on May 16, 2012 6:32:06 PM CDT (1) Early critique

Very nicely done portrait, Suchit. The expression is lovely, the pose elegant and flattering, the sharpness of the image excellent, and the colors are quite nice. I would really like to give 3TU, except for this: the background patterns are simply too distracting, particularly given the geometrically similar feature of the hair pins radiating from the woman's head. The unfortunate combination of both elements yields something of a chaotic competition for one's point of interest here. You could vastly improve this by applying some darkening and blur techniques. Cheers, James

Thank you James for your constructive critique. The background pattern is what is used in rural homes. I do see your point but often I like to give a sense of the place/background rather than a studio feel. All the same your comment is valid. Thank you.

Thanks Rudy. However, your comment is too short so the TU are coming out hollow. If you delete this and re-write you should be able to get the green TU which I can mark as "helpful" (for which you get points).
