>>4521521Amateur opinion (as in, I casually browse /p/ every now and then and I'm in no way a professional photographer):
- I would unironically crop it, I feel like there's too much empty space around the model that's kinda wasted with nothing interesting for my eyes to follow
- I get the "she's chained, but wants to be free" vibe from it, which I find pretentious, although that's not necessarily what you had in mind
- I think it would be nice to have some interesting shadow-play in the photo, so that the model (or parts of her, or anything else really) "pop" more, dunno if that makes sense?
- I don't like her tattoo, but it's more of a nitpick really, the dress seems classy (would benefit from a bra though), but the tattoo kinda gives off a trashy vibe, YMMV - also fuck them shoes, would look better in sandals or with bare feet
- ...and speaking of nitpicks, I'd probably edit out the carrying strap on top of the umbrella in post, the pitch black bit - all this empty space with a soft gray cloth and then wham, super dark line - eyes drift to it because it pops, but there's nothing (of excitement) there
I probably couldn't take as nice of a picture myself with my current, non-existent skill level, but I genuinely don't like it all that much.
I'll still give you props for posting (kudos), because it's easier to criticise than to post something you've made yourself, so take all my shit with a massive grain of salt end of the day.
