Hi Jeff, I really like the background on this one, it suits and compliments the the subject well, only thing I am not sure about is the out of focus hand and flowers? Still a great image tho.

Hi Michael, thanks for the comments. This is a composite of two images and the first I've done. The focus is as taken with 70-200 lens (not overly keen on the hand myself).

I like it - the model colours look slightly faded, which suits the image really well, and I really like the choice of background, and the vignetting also works well.

All in all, a nice image (although as stated, it's a shame about the hand and flowers!)

Good job the only thing is the focus, maybe you could try some burnt paper effect on the lower right to cover up the focus problem.

Thanks folk, always happy to recieve constructive citiques. I suppose I could have left more of the letter over the hand and flowers, maybe I will try that.

I'd agree with that, and then the shot would be a great one IMO. Really like the concept and idea behind it, different use of a paper texture from what I'd have though of, nice one

What were you trying to achieve? I'm left feeling confused by this. There's also some of the writing left on her face which is very distracting.

Like the composition &work carried out on the background & de sat colours, but as said would have liked the hands & flowers to be pin sharp as the eyes here

Very cool.
I like it all.
(If anything I would remove the letters from the back of her hand : at another size print they might make her hand look a bit too skeletal.)
