Great subject and a good photo. Having said that I do agree with your own critique, nothing a little photoshop couldn't sort.

Out of personal preference I would have got closer to the subject, leaving out most of the leg. Cropping the empty space on her left and her bottom hand...I think that would give you a more personal picture. Nice picture though!

I really like this photo. My only suggestion would be the elimination of the car.

I agree totally with the two laast messages (12thdude and photopoet) getting closer to the subject would eliminate a the car.... I'm not sure your greys should get more darker. The picture "speaks" to me.

It's perfect as it is. I really like the tones and the mood.

But the subject is dead one. I love the way she is looking away from the lens.

First: nice portrait image. Second: I agree with you about the contrast and over-exposure of the white, something to do with metering. This is where post-processing/ digital darkroom, come in. I like the fence behind her, I think it gives a certain 'feel' to the setting. Not sure if closer DOF ,to eliminate the car, wouldn't also effect the fence. IMHO and very limited knowledge. Thank You for the push, it's more uploading than getting out there I need. Thanks Genevieve for your encouragement and comments.

great subject...i would agree.....i would have prehaps cropped a little more tighly to the subject on the right but included more at the top to include all of her head...other than that though it is a great shot

I think the b&w is just OK. You could eventually selectively blur the background (gaussian) - www.gimpguru.org/Tutorials/SimulatedDOF.

I find the car in the background, behind her left shoulder, to be a bit distracting, but I think you are aware of this by your suggestion of a shorter dof which would blur the background to a greater degree. I tend to tackle burned out highlights with negative exposure compensation - you can always lighten the resulting darker shadows and tones with Photoshop. But I don't think there is very much wrong with this photo.

nice picture, will be better without the distractions at the back.

*smile - i thought you were shy about shooting people. this is great. here's my 2 cents. i'd crop it as a square, even if that meant losing an elbow and a finger. the background does not bother me given her strength in the shot; if i shortened the dof, i'd be sure not to blur the fence. finally, re: sage's comments about greyscale--here's a link about photoshop filters that convert color shots into styles that mimic the characteristics of specific B&W films: www.silveroxide.com . (go to the reviews and then click through to the dpreview review. that said, i think the shot is a grand shot. i, too, like the way that she is looking out of the shot.
