Interesting...

The focus though is on what's in her hand and not her face. What kind of cig is that?

Also, green.

Focus was actually on her hair (it was real dark...) and i was using green and red split lights... i liked the color :D

and the cig is a prime time, haha.

a bit too centered for me. also, the focus is a little off.

same thing here. the picture is about the girl, not about the soda. she should be in focus.

looks like a fucking beverage ad (especially since the label is FULLY facing towards the camera), and yeah like it was previously mentioned focus point is far too centered. and honestly the face and her expression are far more interesting than the hair (which isn't all that interesting to begin with).

>>192437
dual focus no thx, natural inclination for head focus but then we have another focus on... the drink once again. The whole setup looks entirely contrived WHY are the drinks stacked in a pyramid? WHY is she just sitting in front of said pyramid? WHY is there an unsmoked cigarette placed gingerly on one of the cans? What's most annoying about this picture is that she is looking OUTSIDE of the picture frame and in the direct opposite direction of the drinks. Really there is no path for the eye to take and it makes the photo a pain for viewers to look at.

all in all i'm not seeing a strong motif here, it's a girl with cig and energy drink so what. neither the poses nor the backgrounds add much. If you're trying to portray an apathetic back alley bitch you're cearly not using everything at your disposal. If you're trying to take photos with pretty colors then congrats.

tl:dr
design principles. follow them.
EVERYTHING is subordinate to concept
pay more fucking attention to detail
