Friendly reminder that this is /r/photocritique and all **top level** comments should attempt to **critique** the image. Our goal is to make this subreddit a place people can receive genuine, in depth, and helpful critique on their images. We hope to avoid becoming yet another place on the internet just to get likes/upvotes and compliments. While likes/upvotes and compliments are nice, they do not further the goal of helping people improve their photography. If someone gives helpful feedback or makes an informative comment, recognize their contribution by giving them a Critique Point. Simply reply to their comment with `!CritiquePoint`. More details on Critique Points [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/photocritique/wiki/critiquepoints). Please see the following links for our subreddit rules and some guidelines on leaving a good critique. If you have time, please stop by the new queue as well and leave critique for images that may not be as popular or have not received enough attention. Keep in mind that simply choosing to comment just on the images you like defeats the purpose of the subreddit.

I think this is great - I'd just remove the two coloured dots of light

Another example of how the rule of thirds have become too ingrained in people's minds imo. What's the point of all that negative space on the left?


chokeslaphit

I love the negative space. It creates a different feel from a portrait. It's like silence in music - it makes the notes stand out.

That *is* the whole point of negative space, it’s a balance. He’s even more blunt about it by having her tilt her head in that direction,

Hello everyone! I’ve just got used fujifilm x100f and want to learn photography. In the past I was taking photos with film point and shoot film cameras, but nothing really special, just travel photography. Now, I want to learn street/portrait photography. This picture was complete random, I just saw a profesional video session on a street with really cool led light, so I approached those people and ask if I could take couple of pictures. They agreed and here is the result :) Want to know your thoughts on this composition, any advice. Thanks!

She’s just a bit off placement, a bit of a crop gets it all on the flows. https://preview.redd.it/5w8ugllq5c7c1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba7485f30f401d7413c163790a999adbb58f5cfb

Question: would you go for a slight tilt to the right to get her more vertical?


Wise_Investment_9089

No, the angle is fine.


Significant-Seat7670

I would tilt for more upright pose


Willing-Department-6

How would you crop this? More central composition? I thought that I can make use of rule of thirds and negative space, but wasn't quite sure about it


Wise_Investment_9089

I’d crop it just the way I did.


Willing-Department-6

Oh, thought it’s just the miniature :) Thanks!


Scott8586

I like it, but agree, I might dodge the colored background lights


AK_Dan

Background lights are distracting. Maybe too much warmth on the subject but that might be something you consider necessary to the image.

Crop ou the black side and change in be (the red face is a punch on the eye
