Can you point me out what you like and what not about this portrait? It's shot inside a windmill.
Light source just a tiny window and a reflector to fill the shadows.

Canon 6d mk ii & canon 50 mm 1.8 stm

Nice shot. I would very gently darken the patch of background between her right arm and torso. Perhaps gently bump up the highlights in those curls.

In many ways I like what you did... but to be honest, I don't get the pose. She is looking up into the light, but Im not sure that in this particular situation having her looking toward the camera might not have felt more natural. She feels very much like she is leaning forward, but hands are cut off... just "to me" doesn't feel natural. Not sure this pose in this setting tells me much about her.

Technically I think its pretty well executed. Probably a little extra negative space if it were my shot.... but then again that would be my shot, not yours. I would strive to make the viewer wonder what she was looking at, or what she was thinking. Maybe a little more of the environment would help that. I love low and high key shots. I just want more information here...

Thanks for sharing though... looks like it was a good session.

Fine to me. But her gesture shows the opposite :).

Damien, nice image.

I would crop from just above her bustline.
Provides more focus on her, and removes the distractions.

Nice use of the window light, and the pose works for me.
