Another shot from a Sydney hotel.
More pronounced stuff in the background this time.

I think this one while technically well taken has some issues in the expression which seems to have slightly cross the line from moody indifference into relaxing too much, the mouth looks like it has dropped away rather than been set to me. Also having her shoulders facing where they are takes the eye out of the shot before actually taking in the rest. The busier background however work really well once you start to take it in at just the right level of blur to be recognisable but not distracting.

You're taking it too serious, mate. It's a photo. You don't write articles about it, you don't speak with it's help, you just go out and shoot, and learn, and capture moments, and enjoy them )

With respect I disagree, perhaps in street photography, sport or nature you simply capture a moment but to ask someone to pose for a shot is in itself removed from just shooting. However slight there is a vision, a process to reaching that, it isn't just point and click.

Perhaps your process is much more aimed at aesthetics than a story or having something deeper in an image but the comments here hold to your ethos, to learn. I am attempting to highlight technical issues that you may or may not feel are valid, if you do though you can learn from them. There is a genuine science to the way our eyes move around a shot though I admit I only know the rudiments of it and if an expression is wrong it can remove the good looks of an image.

I'm not attempting to suggest you must agree with the things I've suggested are not quite right, it of course remains entirely personal choice and by all accounts your shots are more often well judged and put together. Rather that what I was saying isn't outside of what you are trying to do. Much can be learnt from the way others view our images and whether these things are accidental at the time or not we can always choose to put them in later shots deliberately.

It's a constant learning process. There's always a gap between what you want and what you achieve in image, between what you know and what you show. So even understanding a lot and still not getting all the style points with a single shot must not bother us, unless we're doing something and getting there. That doesn't mean I disagree with you about her expression. But that does mean I'm not asking for like 50 lines of critique from somebody I don't even know only by the fact that I've posted something. It's done just to let the photo find it's viewer )) So keep it cool and enjoy )
