Mar 05, 2011 22:08 | #2 I personally don't like her right side being cut off. Could be stopped down a bit more (your shutter/ISO are fine) so that all of the model is in the DoF, as your background will look the same regardless. Should help separate her from it more if she doesn't melt into it as much (right shoulder especially).

I can see effects of too much sharpening on her hair to the left of her eyes and on the extra detail of her skin. As a note, portraits often do better with less sharpening than normal. Few people have very good skin (or very good make up) and extra sharpening reveals texture of skin which isn't often appealing.

There is a green tint in some places in her hair -- reflections from something nearby? I like the crop.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Ace Rimmer -- "What a guy!"

Mar 06, 2011 15:47 | #6 With her shoulders square to the camera, then her head turned to camera right and her eyes pointed to camera left it leaves one with a disconcerted opinion about why is she doing it.

Thanks. Still learning. This being a bad time of year for outdoor photography, I'm using some of the excellent material here on POTN to practice on until I can generate more of my own. Hope it might help someone else out while I get the benefit of the practice, too. Ace Rimmer -- "What a guy!"
