Okay, I will try my best to critique this.
( I will try to keep all positives till the end)
Vision(4):
The umbrella shows you already had the idea of having her be in this position. But the angle of which the photo is taken is asymmetrical. Not that it is a bad thing, but you might hear the common complaint of, "It detracts from the picture". To me, my question is why did she have an umbrella? Did it start raining? Is she blocking her skin from the sun? What is the purpose of the umbrella in this photo? I understand to bring out the color, but maybe she could have not had the umbrella and if her tattoo is colored. THAT could have been brought out instead, if it was black and white then forget the suggestion.
Originality(3.5):
I think it is the most difficult to critique originality. The reasons is simply that almost everything has been done before. It is better safe then sorry as a critic to also give a 3.5- because even if it looks original to me. There will always be that factor of, what if it is stolen ( though clearly it is not the case here) or the reference or position.ETC. But the reason, I always give it, is because I think it is fair to the artist. Everything the artist does, in itself is original because it is at that place and moment. But nothing warrants a 5.
Easily said, the whole black and white with color being drawn out ( especially an umbrella) has been done before. But that is alright.
Technique(4):
It's a good shot, and I never really like to mess with an artist's technique. But I will ask questions, Like why black and white? Why bring out the color red? (by the way, you should enter a contest *theme is red* I will give you info later) Why this angle? why should she have her back turned? Why didn't you cover up the tattoo?( although I like that her tattoo is visible, I am asking questions that randomly pop up in my head) Why did you want her hair down? Why that background? Did you not like the colors of the trees or the water? Did you have plans for this shot but it didn't go right? Also why is she sitting, couldn't it have been better is she was standing with the umbrella? what if she was facing the camera and used the umbrella to cover her body, would that have also been a nice shot?
Impact(3.5):
Two key factors that make my eyes wander. First the Umbrella with the eye-popping color, and second the very large tattoo on her butt cheek. I know there is an impact here, I feel a little bit but I can't fully understand it. As long as you can feel your own impact and this work inspires others. It fine. If this just gets the replies, "Nice photo" and never gets the awe- inspiring, "Wow- this shot really made me feel..."etc. then not many people are getting it. Especially with the title 'Home'. Does it feel like home? is that her home? Is it spiritual? Most artists don't get that titles also mean something, and obviously need to mean something to the photo. I don't know what home means in this photo. I can guess. But I don't really know.


I like the way you shot it, asymmetrical. Like everything else in life.
I like that you brought out the umbrella to make it the main focus.
I LOVE the black and white.
Although, I thought of telling you to crop it on one side ( the one with just cement not water side, or the complete bottom) I like the photo the way it is. I am sure you have it like that for a reason too.
I know this photo does have a message even if I can't understand it.
This photo has it's own absurdism that can be contemplated.
Nice choice of model for the photo. ( she too is asymmetrical; i.e. tattoo)
Nice background.
Nice position.
