May be my monitor but it seems extremely dark.

I like the setting and post. Very dark though. Did you use any fill flash?

[Photofrog]

might be the scann, i know the original looked much better and lighter.
i rarerly shoot in high intensity light though, i tend to like low light photography.

[Photofrog]

no flash, i hate it, dont even own one :) i think the prob was she was back lit through trees

[Falkon]

She is back lit, a flash would have helped

[Mike Panic]

too dark - and if you are shooting someone who wants to be a model, they need to be the focus of the photograph, not a tree filled background

Where did the horizontal lines in the image come from?

Very dark, and I don't like the flower growing out of her ear. The background is way too busy. Looks like you have a pretty model, but the picture does nothing for her.IMHO.

nice pose,nice setting a bit to dark and that flower just looks wrong imho.

Looks like you scanned a photo... I bet you could improve the look via photoshop. And there's nothing wrong with using a little fill flash here and there... I've been trying my hand at "available light" photography, but there are times where a flash is needed just to help get the result you want.

I played with it a little bit in Elements and a quick fix solved many of the issues.. but I couldn't get rid of the 'scan' lines.

Nice photo, I like the composition... just wish it were a little sharper and her face a bit more defined.

do you have more to show? :)
