Critique by ~kerrath Jul 8, 2012, 2:50:52 PM
There's really not much room left to improve here as you've done a really fine job. The composition exposure and focus are all quite solid, and the choice of black and white draws attention to what's happening quite appropriately. It's a really cute scene, especially with the sympathetic little anecdote you wrote to accompany it, and hearkens to childhoods spent playing outdoors in the 'good old days.'

There's really only one thing I would've liked to have seen in the picture that isn't included and that is for her to have been looking at the dragonfly on her nose. Because she isn't it sort of subtracts from the whimsy of the moment, causing it to look a little bit posed.

Over all, very nice work. I really enjoyed looking at it, and the warm feelings it evoked.

i think that this photo is quite amazing. you seemed to have captured it a just the right moment, while making it look as if it was unplanned. this is a very well taken picture, i might add. i love how you did a black and white photo as opposed to regular colors. i think that it adds to this magnificent photograph. i feel that this picture really captures the grace of the little flying insect that is perched opon your nose, and it serves as inspiration to me. i think this picture has succesfully ended my writers block. this is a very well done, inspirational picture, and i hope to see more in the future.

What a wonderful photo. I can easily see this as being one of those photos that could many manifestations/interpretations and appear all over things like postcards and stuff. An iconic image like 'Lunch atop a Skyscraper' and others :)
