Title: Village Woman



Jurors Scores Critiques
Ann Alimi 9.5 Great composition, good story, lighting and exposure all well done.

Good sharpness. For slight improvement bring out the shadows just a tad to see woman’s eyes a little better.
   
Kerri-Jo Stewart 8 Strong documentary portrait.

Bringing out more of the environment may strengthen it even more – was there more on the left side?

Also, brightening the woman and her face and slightly darkening the background, especially to the left frame side, would help bring her out as the main subject.
   
Leah Gray 7 The background in this image tells us the story of where this woman lives. The image is sharp throughout with soft light.

Her expression matches her surroundings, but her hands are held awkwardly. Perhaps waiting a moment or two would have given the photographer a slightly different pose.
   
Total Score: 24.5
