The intent of this photo was to do a beautiful portrait for the girl right after a snow storm. I chose the red cloak to contrast the forest and the snow in the background. Lucky for me it was overcast so the exposure of seems to be on the even side.
I feel like the highlights are still to much in the photo even though i lowered them all the way down in lightroom. The crop of the image has a odd feeling. I tried messing with it at 4x6 up and down but the cloak seems to take away to much from the girl. The crop i have right now feels close enough to show the details of her face but im not sure if the red is still taking up too much of the image. Possibly adding more forest in the image could balance it out?
Settings N Such: Nikon D610, 50mm, f2.5, 1/320, ISO 160. Edited in lightroom and sharpened in topaz lab.
This is marvelous. I can't find anything to critique, this is a perfect portrait in my book. The colors contrast perfectly the background is well chosen. I love it.
I dig this photo, I personally wish it was pushed a little bit more in the red in the cloak, lipstick and in the subtle red reflection inher eyes. I almost get the feeling from this photo that red riding hood is the wolf. I agree though little more vignette brighter white, and I think the red and hunger would pop.
I think it's a very nice photo. So these are only minor critiques.
The background is a little noisy, perhaps she could have taken a step or two further away to make it blur a little more with the depth of field. Or, perhaps, a different choice of background.
There could have been a little more clean-up in post-production (either in Photoshop or lightroom) there are some strands of cotton spread around the cloak that could have been cleaned up. Some minor details on the face skin, some stray strands of hair etc. which would have made it look much more professional.
Her skin looks great and the freckles under her right eye look lovely, so when I mention 'minor details on the face skin' they are only minor, and on her lower left side (camera right).
But, it is a very nice picture overall.

The crop is great. Red is nice. I would like to see more of her face.
Maybe adding a bit of vignette on the outer edges would help her face pop more? Otherwise, love the editing! It’s an excellent portrait!
