Delving a bit further into this critique, I don't see these issues as technical problems, rather artistic choices. The photo (and the first one I posted) fulfills what I set out to get on camera. The point of the shot is to focus on her eyes, not the instrument, therefore the depth of field. The top was specifically chosen to complement the colors of the instrument and overall color grading and the texture to complement her hair.
While I won't reshoot this in order to "correct" these issues, as what I got was basically what I was looking for, I DO appreciate you taking the time to weigh in on it.
Thanks again :)

So far so good, I like them both, especially the first. I might have cropped a bit differently but that's totally subjective. Thanks!

Try a side view. leave a bit more space, and allow for enough depth of field to bring the hands and instrument into focus. Have her wear a darker top.
Thanks :)

If you zoom in and crop to see mainly her face, the eyes are riveting, the bow and violin are out of focus and all other distracting elements are eliminated.
Good suggestion...I like it :)

I rather like it... a confident musician aiming the violin at the viewer and pouring forth a barrage music. However, were it my image, I'd pop up the musician's eyes- the irises especially- and tamp down the lightness of that outside shoulder just a bit...
Also... it would make an excellent black and white...

Thanks Jaackil...I have other images which show her whole face but I liked the expression and eyes in this one. As for the cropping...she has an injured finger on the right hand and is wearing a white plastic splint on one finger, thus the cropping :)

Nice composition. Can you clone out the watermelon hovering over her head? It's a distraction.
Agreed, I thought it was a hat balanced on her head at first.

Nice, I think this one is my favorite of the series so far

Thank you. Now I'm having doubts, LOL. I like it more, but maybe it does need something. I'm at a loss. I just thought the first border was distracting from the subtlety of the image.
I think it's the fact that so little is lit it almost looks abstract, like "pieces" are floating and disconnected from each other. The shadows are so dense they merge completely with the background leaving just a floating face and leg and other partial "parts" (at least that's how it looks on my monitor)

Very nice work especially considering it's film. It's fun to think about the film days but I'm sure if I was forced to go back to film I would hate it. You don't have to be conservative with digital. You don't have to worry about how many shots are left on a roll. I think the only thing bad about digital is that nobody prints anymore.
Funny you say that, I just printed a 13X19 about an hour ago!
