    Re: Cris

    Another beautiful image, Javier. You should be very happy with this piece of your work. The issues I see are quite minor, but are things you might wish to consider the next time you shoot.

    I find that your crop is a touch too tight on the left hand side. While you haven't cut anything off, the fingers are very close to the edge of the shot. A bit more space on the left hand side (and a little less on the right to compensate) would give you stronger visual balance.

    I find that the overall skin tone is a little bit on the cool side and I personally like my white balance to be just a tiny bit on the warm side for portraits. I suspect warming it up slightly might be worth trying.

    I don't love the head tilt and think that this shot would have been a bit stronger with the head held up straight. The positioning of the hand and fingers on the camera right side looks a bit awkward. The hand is almost at right angles to the wrist and that breaks the visual flow. The fingers on the face should barely touch and not press against the skin to leave any impressions there. We can see indentations on the face there. Fingers together, rather than apart would give a stronger and less disruptive visual flow too.

    The hand blocks the light at the throat and if it were my shot, I would dodge that area just a little to open that part up a touch more.

    I totally agree with Manfred. Also, if possible, move her farther away from the background. You can actually see creases in the background.

    Which is one reason I try to stay away from muslin backgrounds. They wrinkle and it takes a lot of work (with an iron) to get them out.

    There are various types of muslin fabrics which can be used for backgrounds. Some types of fabrics are more susceptible to wrinkles and folds than other types. There are some that will always look like a bed that has been slept in.

    One way to get rid of the majority of wrinkles/creases is to hang the background material and steam it with a hand steamer.

    Another good start to minimizing creases/wrinkles is to spray the background material with a spray such as this https://smile.amazon.com/Downy-Wrink...s%2C165&sr=8-3 and then run it through a wrinkle removal cycle in a clothes dryer,

    Finally, I like to store my backgrounds in a stuff bag rather than folding them for storage. The intermittent wrinkles formed in the stuff bag are not as apparent as fold creases when the BG is out of focus.
