Ther is a lot going on in this shot
exactly what message are you trying to project?
my recomendations and feelings about the image could easily change
are you showing the person, telling a story, thought it was cool
it is just not clear to me.

TO me that is what makes it a picture that will be looked at more than one time. I like it.

Thought it looked different. The shack alone holds my interest.

Whats the purpose of this image? Is it for the client or you?

That being said, and without an answer, my initial impressions are.

Not enough direction in the image. I have no idea where to look and it is cluttered. The toning is abrasive.

Not a fan.

I liked it more after I slid it over to crop off the clutter of the left side of the building. Without that corner wall & outside clutter I was drawn to the portrait in the center

Like this?



I like it better, this way.

i agree with the crop idea. no background, just wall and her. move the left crop over to the pipe.

I prefer the crop I posted, to be honest. I have seen both, and I like the extra element.

You should critique books not pictures =).

Just another crop.

Thats it. Done. Of course I could say that I think the tint is too much in the highlights, and shadows need a bit too, and that it s too much. I will pick and choose my battles.
