Your photo has caught me as soon as I saw it. The gloomy atmosphere, the (spectacular) girl with that "doll-like" face, the light and the sad red of her dress. It has entered me directly.
Let's go in parts: As for the lighting technique, I see that you have applied it perfectly, you have even dared with a very lateral light that creates very beautiful volumes on the body, I also like how that same light only hits angrily on a part of the dress and the rest is fading to dark. What makes me most curious is the light on the girl's face, have you added / edited it later? It gives me the feeling as if the flash had gone to the body and the face had been treated with a "porcelain" effect. Although this doubt generates me, it does not bother me at all, in fact I like it. With more or less coherence with the lighting in general, in your photo the captive model, catches ... and that is difficult to achieve!
The next thing that strikes me is the place, what a piece of place! What is it? A rock? It gives me to imagine that it is a giant tree. Whatever it is, the girl is perfect. Of course, when I saw the photo I thought "how much black!" . I still miss a bit of fill light to rescue those good textures from the "stone tree".
On a technical level, the only thing that squeaks me is the burst exposure at the top of the sky. I imagine you wanted to underexpose at all costs but that part was burned. Given that the truth is that you can do little, hence it is so important to remember at the time of the photo to take several shots with different exposure values.
As for possible changes / corrections, I can only think of a couple more: The toes and the framing.
Following the model with your gaze, when you get to the "pink" of the feet it gives you a jump of color that is just as distracting. I would try to desaturate and unify the tones with those of the legs and the instep. Finally the framing: I do not know if it is because of the burst sky or not, but I would reframe by cutting something from the top and something from the left so that the model appears centered.
That said, I can only go back to the beginning of my comment: Your photo has caught me @nereadecosanchez !
It is inevitable for me to forget any burst sky and to be left with an intriguing feeling when I see it. I already said that it catches me right? Well, it worries me, it calls me, I like it! So congratulations and thank you very much for sharing it!
Thank you @ibai !!
I am very happy that you liked it. You are absolutely right in terms of overexposing the sky, effectively by underexposing that part that was burned it squeaks even more. I will keep it in mind for next time, thank you very much for the note :)
