Santosh - Beautiful silhouette image and love the color spectrum from lighter yellow to orange/red of the background.

For improvement, perhaps you could use a mask at the bottom to add some light adjustments and see some of the foreground elements.   Posted: 07/16/2024 15:33:48

Thank you for the feedback, I tried a bit of enhancing the foreground. But my expectation of final image present is missing. May be i will try do same.   Posted: 07/31/2024 16:20:46

Santosh, great image- very creative! My personal preference would be a different crop so that the women's body is closer to the left third.   Posted: 07/24/2024 01:20:45

I, too, would have cropped some of the right side off, giving her more notice. The silhouette is very sharp and shows good action. Love the color of her cloth....   Posted: 07/25/2024 20:30:28

Agree with you, a bit of cropping and left might give a little bit of punch. Thank you for the feedback   Posted: 07/31/2024 16:23:30

I think this is beautiful. I love the silhouette and the colors. It's striking! I actually like it the way it is because the negative space gives her room to wave her saree and gives her space since she as she looks in that direction. The shadows and texture in the saree are also wonderful! Beautiful.   Posted: 07/26/2024 23:50:17

I also love the silhouette and the colors. I would not crop it differently because as Julia stated the negative space gives her room to wave her saree and gives her space since she looks in that direction. Well done. I would add a thin border to define the photo.   Posted: 07/28/2024 18:51:07

Yeah! Now i just imagined the thin border line on image. It would give a perfect framing look. Thank you   Posted: 07/31/2024 16:25:31
