This was done on the quick more time better the detail..
Hello Sergej
Thank you for sharing this portrait with us. African portraits are frequently published here so it might be worth resubmitting yours. I like Daniel's edit with the dark background but I also wonder if a closer crop of just head and shoulders might be worth considering. The bright pink detracts a little from the girl's face and the white sleeve doesn't add to the appeal, so I think head and shoulders could work better.
Good light, Elizabeth
Thanks to both. Yes, I see now that the background might be too bright and distracting. However, completely removing the background and replacing it with something else, might not look as natural anymore, it will feel like a studio setting, but the girl does not look like one, who would go to the studio. Will try to do, like Elizabeth said, with a more drastic cropping (and maybe some vignetting, to remove the brightness).
However, might it also be ok, if I tint the magenta color into something less distracting, like darker red?
Yes, Sergei, I think it's worth trying a more subdued colour than the magenta.
