This is a picture of my friend. I told her to pose. She's a very good subject. But I don't like how I took this at an angle. I wish I would have been more careful about taking it front on. This was edited with adobe lightroom. I took all color out of the picture except for green and added lots of saturation and blue hue to the green. Enjoy. Comment. Be honest

A most unusual image, but very nicely done. I like the saturation of the greens, and the pose of your friend is nice, with the exception that she looks like she is holding back a laugh. I would rather see her with a serious look on here face. Still, overall a very nice piece of work.

The shot is done well, better than you think. What you think is not straight is actually balanced by the hedges behind your subject. I find the scene very pleasant to view.

The composition looks a little awkward to me. follow the rule of thirds and you cannot go far wrong. A closer crop would have moved your subject to the left and balanced against the tree. The angle could be greater or less, but has been said above, it is balanced by the angle of the edge of the grass in the background. The colour? well, it changes the picture, but to what effect? Has it added anything to the image? when you took the picture is this how you saw it, with the vivid greens overpowering your subject, or... did you just try to make an ordinary picture more interesting? The subject is the girl, and yet she is now negative space, almost a hole in the grass. The girl, bench and tree make a nice grouping, concentrate on them, perhaps fade the background. Also crop more on this group. Well, you did ask for a comment.

I would like to see more of the subject than of the background. The background totally eliminates the girl.And, the color is overpowering. Try it again, or eliminate the green. Since you have a willing model, give it a few more tries at various angles.

I love the idea of the selective color. I think it would be better used in accentuating the subject however. Nice job by taking a risk though, thats what makes for interesting photography
