I'm a novice for sure, but starting to play around with more "people" photos/portraits. I took this in the shade on a partially sunny day.

Clean up the crazy hair. thanks...this was just a test shot with my wife. I wasn't too concerned about the hair (it was very windy!). I looked at the Raw file and zoomed in. It's kind of crazy the blouse along the shoulder isn't in focus either. I think the whole shot was a little soft. thanks for the feedback. much appreciated. I took some shots today with my wife as my guinea pig, seems to have come out much sharper. Of course, I was inside, out of the wind and on a tripod using mirror lockup. “too much stuff, too little time"

Here's one I took this afternoon using my tripod, no VC (IS), mirror lockup. I think it came out much better. About a 60% crop, no pp.  Testing Tamron 17 50 vc by willmeades, on Flickr“too much stuff, too little time"

I'm a little obsessed with eliminating shake! “too much stuff, too little time"

I'd also use a higher shutter-speed than 1/15s for images of people. thanks Bob....Wow! I didn't realize that I was shooting so slow! “too much stuff, too little time"
