Alright, let's get back to track. Stop all whatever debates and arguments. Pls try to keep this thread of mine as Cool as possible. Drink more water if too heaty ya.
Just for everyone's info, right from the start of this thread, I never stated in here that it was meant for Critique(s), all I ask is ONLY constructive comments. That's all, very simple.
So far, don't be misled by just 1 fellow member so-call critique (when I didn't even ask for, nor reply) n turn this thread upside down.
If I needed critique, I would have start off this thread in Critiques corner.

Constructive comments are very simple, just tell me what's wrong, why so and how should I improve.
(Not boosting or sucking up) One eye jack bro has demonstrated very well in this thread in regards on my photography.
From his replies, I can get to learn, understand what I m lacking also what is wrong in my photography and it made me to even want to explore more.
But the rest, I will just maybe read n forget or worse, I just skipped w/o even bother to read or see a single word he writes.

Greatly appreciated if you all can just stick to the way it was before. Chill..

You have a very strange definition of constructive comments - by your definition it is spoonfeeding. Actually, critique and constructive comments are related - critique can tell you what's wrong with an image and help you see things you may have missed. Your definition of constructive comments is akin to going to school and getting graded by a teacher, then tutored and hand-held. If that's what you truly desire, I recommend paying for classes.

Straight up, you can already see the single light source is at the wrong angle, making her jawline disappear and highlighting her cheeks, which makes her face look unflatteringly fat.

Now use some common sense to determine how you could have done better.

Be careful with cropping. Too tight and it can be destructive

for this #15, my personal feel is that your model's face appears like a mask to me. Perhaps is the way the side profile is portrayed. i.e. the hair coverage beyond the ear and the hair edges blending into the back ground.. another thing that seems weird to me is the right arm appearing like a triangle highlight with the rest disappearing/cropped/in shadow.. maybe angle the key lighting coupling wif some fill lights might be helpful?

Here comes the constructive criticism!

Cropping was done in a good way to conceal her arms but some parts of her left forearm still visible maybe you want to crop away that also? Coz it make her look like she got short arms. Anyway why you crop away her arms like that?

Her hair was allowed to fall in a messy manner but it had accented the beauty of the shape of her head shape but had also highlighted the bald parts of her hair scalp.

Her 3 fingers are still shortened so maybe a facepalm pose is not a good idea. Still need to see at least 1 more finger to avoid looking like she ganna from yakuza.

The floating face problem - grim reaper mask look, is still there so I suggest you reduce a bit of contrast.

Overall a good effort.

Off the top of my head, the Caucasian face growing out of her left arm (and basically all the other tourists) is very distracting and screams "I did not really care fir the background".

The pattern on her dress, and making her cover the middle pillar of the mbs building makes it look like she's part of the building.

This is actually a really great example of "bad bokeh" - where the blurred background thoroughly distracts from, rather than complements, the subject.

Well to the rest, I m thankful for you guys (except a few) of your inputs and made me understood n learnt the bads about this series. Also for me to know where to improve.
It is quite an experience here to learn different aspects from different members. Though I ignored or sarcast back at some craps in here (which I don't give a d*mn).
Those I've replied ones are the ones who really help me learn and made me understand where I go wrong.

For newbie reading this thread, kindly just read those who contributed to photography learning n knowledge. Thanks to their effort in penning down word by word.
Just skipped reading those typing next to nothing ones.
